Gomi is a yester year MMA fighter, like Wand, Hendo, Fedor, Crocop etc. All greats of the sport but the game has passed them by. MMA is in it's next stage of evolution and hate to say it but it's a little too late for Gomi and co. MMA has evolved into something they're not used to. Black and white TV was great back then but now it's 3D. U know what I mean? Sigh It was great stuff when he was the fireball but now he's the smoked old man yo. =OI
@elbrus05 He wouldn't, Nate has stated that he looks up to Gomi and his fights in Pride. He has also said that Gomi has done waaaay more impressive things then most the people in the UFC (Referring to fighters like Guida, Maynard, etc) and that having the opportunity to fight him was wonderful. He has a lot of respect for Gomi.
Dana White is desperately looking for an Asian superstar in the UFC. Dana knows that their is huge potential in Asia, especially in the area of Japan, Korea and China. Ever since Pride was bought out, it left a huge void to be filled, now that China has opened up, there's unlimited upside for the UFC if it can find an Asian superstar.
@maocapoeira Gomi is a very good boxer, he can stand with anyone toe to toe, the problem with Gomi is that he is average on the ground. He has average wrestling and Shooto skills, but in the UFC you need more than that to be a Champion. Almost all his losses are from submissions, BJ Penn: rear naked choke, Marcus Aurelio: arm triangle choke, Kenny Florian: rear naked choke, Clay Guida: Guillotine choke. If he improves on his ground game, Gomi can be a top contender. Its time for a new coach.
@MusicforMe123 um no this is where ur completly wrong. way to repeat what joe rogan said rofl. yes his submission game isnt great.....but he's not 1-3 in the ufc cuz of his jui jitsu as hes beaten many bjj black belts. he lost simply bacause he isnt in his prime anymore. u need to learn ur facts. gomi was never the same after he lost to nick diaz
Whos' the crispy cat slappin hands with Gomi @ 6:46? That's not Ole Dirty, is it? It's hard to tell, but it looks like ODB, a little before he passed, guess this would prolly be in '03. Anyone agree, or know?
@burningknuckle26 lol, true. Well hopefully he stays at least at SSJ1 from now on during fights. That was a nasty Super HADOKEN he lit Griffin up with.
@DavidToddSchiesler Hehe, Majin Penn is no joke. Look out for the color of The Fireball Kid's hair as he walks out, when this fight happens. It might all be riding on that.

Florion made his last fight vs Guida look really easy. If Gomi beats Florian he is the number 1 contender at 155.
