Florian and Gomi: A Lightweight Showdown

[lalandanny]

NIGGAS florian is one of the best in the world soon hes gona beat jose aldos ass

[alfvar]

Pride Bushido was amazing and Gomi was just a destroyer back then. This fight was very sad for me. I accidently got the result spoiled for me and I didn't even bother to watch the fight, still haven't to this day. : (

[kai0shin]

i would love to see a rematch...

same way Shogun would wreck Forrest in a rematch, I think Gomi will wreck Florian.

[lucirz]

i hope gomi can come back. i remember when shogun moved the ufc and was losing alot, i started to think maybe he is really past his prime, but then he went back into beast mode. hopefully, gomi can do the same.

[yellowsneakers234]

I do forsee there one day being a Japanese UFC LW champion, but it's not gonna be Gomi. I love the guy, but it's not gonna be him. Japan's under 200 lbs. divisions are stacked for mma. I don't think a lot of people realize that. They just need to start bringing over more Japanese fighters. Not just one or two stars at a time.

[TheAirGuitarMan]

@SpecialSomeone4u That was a long, long time ago and Kenny was fighting at a weight he should not have, and he's improved far more than Diego has. Case and point, Kenny finishing Guida when Sanchez couldn't.

[lozfalcon]

I like to think Gomi had the famous octagon jitters 'coss he was fucking awful.

[SpecialSomeone4u]

@lozfalcon dude, when he came to America, Kenflo paid for escort service for Gomi when he arrived as a gift, it was his first american pussie... he got so much of it that it worned him out, he was exhausted just thinking about it during the fight!

[dohertyz]

I loved Florian vs Gomi. One of my favorite fights. I would like to see Florian take on Anderson Silva though.

[SorianoBjjClub]

hahahahhaha

[dohertyz]

@SorianoBjjClub something funny?

[IndohNintendo]

Gomi was too conservative. He seemed too cautious and I think that ultimately led to the defeat.

[SpecialSomeone4u]

Diego Sanchez would make kenflo cry uncle, just like in their first fight if they would ever rematch again...

[NathanTreflip]

@SpecialSomeone4u No way lol, Diego is way to cocky he'll just get his face pounded again like he did by BJ Penn! It's so retarted when Diego goes in there and starts making those wierd faces when he is in a face off getting ready to fight his opponent honestly i think he is terrible now. Kenny Flo would destroy him and i dont even like kenny

[SpecialSomeone4u]

@NathanTreflip did u see Kenflo and Sanchez fight at welterweight? Kenflo had no chance against the Nightmare, Kenflo was completely dominated the whole fight!

[NathanTreflip]

@SpecialSomeone4u Well that was then! and we are talking about now. KenFlo got way better.

[SpecialSomeone4u]

@NathanTreflip better my ass, BJ penn demolished him, just because he beat Gomi doesnt mean he got better, Gomi had too much american pussie before he fought Kenflo, Diego would do the same thing to Kenflo again and dominate him! I guarantee ya...

[NathanTreflip]

@SpecialSomeone4u I respectfully disagree dude!

[SpecialSomeone4u]

@NathanTreflip well have to wait and see if they fight in the near future for a showdown rematch to see who is wrong!

[NathanTreflip]

@SpecialSomeone4u Haha i guess so! Kenny is getting better you have to admit it! and BJ Penn just got beat by franky! like come on now that shows that BJ Isn't getting any better

[SpecialSomeone4u]

@NathanTreflip dude did u pay attention to the BJ Franky fight? cmon did u think BJ was gonna just dance to lose, BJ was paid to lose! if BJ wanted to defend his title, he wouldve destroyed franky like he did daddy joe stevenson, and diego, kenflo, so what ur trying to say is franky is better then kenflo? lol...

[GLUVSR4EVER]

@NathanTreflip so did diego sanchez keep that in mind...and diego went all rounds with bj while florian got tapped out in the second...think before you speak

[chiesuto]

You got to realize that Gomi is used to the 4 cornered rings than the octagon, he corners his opponents & knocks them out. What made this fight so shitty is that Florian decided to be a pussy and take Gomi down to the ground in the 3rd round because he knew he was gonna get knocked out. You could hear Gomi's counter strikes compare to Flo. Flo wasn't doing shit that was a sneaky take down. If Gomi wanted to take Flo down it wouldn't of been a problem period

[gthletic1]

@chiesuto how the fuck is taking the a fight to the ground a pussy move?

u do realize that this is MMA?

[ftse1]

@chiesuto u have no idea what u are saying fact is gomi was dominated period and he will be dominated again. fact is gomi could not execute any shots standing up so u saying florian was gonna get KO'd is ludicrous.

fact is gomi had numerous chances to do something and he didnt so tough

[JohnLeeMD]

@chiesuto Are you that stupid, or just blind? Gomi got OWNED on the feet. If the fight would've stayed on the feet, Florian would've most certainly have been fine with that, and jabbed Gomi to a clear-cut decision victory. I don't even remember how it went to the ground anymore, but I do remember Florian just dictating the whole fight standing, and once it hit the ground, it was even easier for him.

Don't be a mindless fan; watch the actual fight.

[chiesuto]

@JohnLeeMD What I saw in this fight is that Florian threw a lot of weak jabs that never landed, or even if it did it couldn't kill a fly, where Gomi threw a lot less shots but they were accurate and heavy. I actually could hear the thuds from the shots landing. All this doesn't mean Gomi got owned. It means Florian was playing defensive on his feet, by throwing jabs to keep Gomi and his knock out punch away. FYI in 3rd round Flo took Gomi down. Your the mindless dumbass & ur not even a fan.

[JohnLeeMD]

@chiesuto OMG... you have got to be joking me, right? Listen, I'm a Gomi fan--so I was ROOTING for him. And that was about as thorough a domination (w/o the KO finish) over multiple rounds that I can immediately recall. (I know there are many others, but...) f-n Gomi's mom would tell you her son got waxed that night. F-n I'm sure Gomi himself will tell you he got handled. So please--quit making stupid excuses to make yourself feel better that your hero got OWNED. It happens to 'em all.

[uaskdej]

@chiesuto yea that's exactly why he took him down. not to get the rear naked choke that won the fight, but because he was scared he was gonna get ko'd? that's why they were trading punches the whole fight and taka still coundn't do shit.

[Bortowski]

@chiesuto

Im a Gomi fan but i have to say that gomi was outclassed in this fight!

Florian just took him apart with his fast in and out jabs!

Hopefully Gomi has an answer for this next time! ;)

[Urswrnme]

@chiesuto ur an idiot... calling florian a pussy... from florians stand point, why fight a guy standing up if "he knew he was gonna get knocked out". MIX MARTIAL ARTS its not just striking. -if u or anyone is looking for grammer/spelling, i have already won this statement then-

[curemymind]

@chiesuto It's MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) not have it your way thats just pussy talk. You have to bring everything and the one thats smarter will win. It's that simple...

[TheAirGuitarMan]

@chiesuto Yeah. He was in sooooo much danger of getting knocked out right? After not even being threatened, and in fact totally dominating standing up for two rounds. Make a lot of sense. Gomi threw harder but he was hitting nothing but air.

You can throw bricks if you want, it doesn't matter if they don't hit anything. Gomi was outclassed in every sense of the word in this fight.

[chiesuto]

@TheAirGuitarMan Yes, yes. Americans are the best. They are better than everybody else in the world, in every sense. I just think that if Florian didn't go to the ground he probably got knocked out. But hey, how dare me challenge the Americans? NOT.

[TheAirGuitarMan]

@chiesuto I'm not even an american, so don't try turning this into something to do with nationality.

I just don't get how you can justify saying if Kenny hadn't gone to the ground in the third he'd have been knocked out. He stood with him for the first 2 rounds with no ground work and still dominated him. He simply took it to the floor because BJJ is where he's best and he wanted to finish the fight. Nothing wrong with that after outstriking a pure striker.

[YoungAssassin69]

@chiesuto lol........ thanks for the american complement but thats not what they are saying here

[LupusEstHomoHomini11]

@chiesuto Gomi shouldn't challenege "the Americans" anymore, that's for sure.

[chiesuto]

@LupusEstHomoHomini11 Nice name.. I dont know whats going on with Gomi. He is probably burnt out, ready for retirement or maybe its something else. Sayonara Gomi-san...

[BigGee614]

Lol Gomi...so overrated.

[RedRaider8493]

bj penns a bitch

gomi got murdered

[CollegeAttempts]

Whatever happened to Gomi.

[K0K4NE]

@CollegeAttempts the same thing that has happened with most of the pride stars, they got older, gomi may be younger that florian, but he was at his prime many years ago.

Kenny didnt engage much and it was a boring fight, if gomi had the same game plan as florian,the ref would have warned them both and the crowd would have boo'd them both.

[zacklyzun]

nick diaz choked him out and it was all downhill after that

[DipinSauce]

gomi was shit!!! couldnt even counter kenny

[lobsidedballs]

this was such a shitty fight

[Yalashaska]

The problem with these old school fighters comming from Japan is that most of them go to battle with NO gameplan, just to brawl, and now appear to be that things in the US (specially in the UFC) are totally different to that

[TheAjdam]

The battle of the eyebrows!!!! Gomi looks much bigger but i'll still take Florian, although i don't think either of these guys could take BJ Penn.

[justanotherfan6hd]

lol relaxe it was an april fools joke but yah i pissed of to it was the worst ever

[singiel1980rok]

0:47... ludzie to kochają.

Czym więcej krwi tym lepiej.

Na oczach ludzi jeden zawodnik zabije drugiego a ludzie jeszcze będą klaskać i się cieszyć.

[BooRikkaaa101]

Edgar would whoop Florians ass, so would Tyson Griffin and Sean Sherk. I don't understand how he even got a title shot.

[angeriod]

Bj penn would dominate both of these mofos

[LeeRyan2930]

this is exactly what could to happen to Fedor if he faced the big 4 in the UFC: Dos Santos, Carwin, Cain and Brock. the only way Fedor can earn my respect is to beat top fighters not some Ok fighter like Werdum. it's funny Fedor can be fighting Overeem next but he doesn't want to. smells like Floyd,

[RabidandBig]

I thought Gomi would have done a little more than take punches to the face in this fight.

[kpak2puc]

@RabidandBig yea kind of disappointed

[jattamreetbatth]

what figth is at 0:45 ?????????????

[myfirstlunchbox]

@jattamreetbatth That's the Kenny Florian vs. Roger Huerta fight.

[ILuvBritneySpears123]

new youtube layer sux ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ bring back the old layout

[anashkhss]

Islam (:

[StigmataXBledXRed57]

Gomi was off in this fight. To me he didn't do too much of anything. Kenny picked him apart.

[90260]

can someone send me a link to where i can watch the gomi fight please

[drewrg]

who won this fight?

[GoatseObama]

@drewrg Florian

[MiljasXx]

@drewrg florian killed him

[FlipSnipeZ]

This is a good match up

[DudeHuge]

So, are prides contenders amateurs to UFC contenders? I still think Kenny would beat pride Gomi.... Juss sayin.

[Imetalman2000]

Penn's only weakness is GSP. GSP only weakness might be Anderson Silva, Those two need to fight.

[theymiya]

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ *** the new layout COPY AND PASTE IF YOU HATE THE NEW YOUTUB

[RobT89]

Florian's samurai outfit is so funny and leet. Show so much respect to this guy.

[bulldog01209]

gomi outclassed ! probably ring rust, I hope !

[isafany]

buahh! so disappointed!!

[DSTDave]

Rear Naked CHoke SON!!!

[a7xchiiliwack]

i went to see the fight last night gomi got owned

[D0ughboythegreat]

@a7xchiiliwack what was the blackout like????

[D0ughboythegreat]

@a7xchiiliwack what was the blackout like????

[D0ughboythegreat]

i hate the new youtube:(

[devineaaron]

@D0ughboythegreat Me too..Now it doesent even look like youtube :(

[D0ughboythegreat]

@devineaaron i barely know how to respond i meen god daaaam they shoulda went over this wit everyone ... at least took a pole

[devineaaron]

@D0ughboythegreat I know i hate The new  Youtube looks fucking complicated..I want the old one back..

[D0ughboythegreat]

i hate the new youtube:(

[ndknight23]

Let's be honest here...neither Kenflo nor Gomi have a chance in hell against Penn. He is the best LW champ of all time, and has little to no flaws for either to exploit.

[xxxpingzing18xxx]

@ndknight23 yea i am starting to see that in a few weight classes, but i think the guy who has the beest shot at the belt is kenflo. kenny is my fav fighter but honestley, bj is on a whole nother level then these guys

[kbs01]

@ndknight23 agreed unless gsp drops down to LW... but he wont so penns fine lol..

[CPThustla88]

@ndknight23 ya but frankie edgar whopped his fat ass

bjs overated

[TheKillaJoker]

@CPThustla88, You haven't even got the balls to train, let alone compete, so shut your mouth, fatty!

[ndknight23]

@TheKillaJoker truth baby

[burningknuckle26]

@ndknight23 After watching Penn v Edgar II, I think both Kenflo and Gomi have a chance. BJ looked slower and not himself.

[ndknight23]

@burningknuckle26 agreed. I've been the hugest Penn fan since forever, but he's not himself anymore. He needs to rethink a lot of things, Edgar made him look almost amateurish. If Kenflo got a match against BJ I wouldn't be so sure how the outcome turned out...

[bfmyac]

@ndknight23 Not until Frankie Edgar came along ;)

[CHAZOFALLTRADES]

@ndknight23 He has no flaws? Frankie Edgar embarrased him. Twice

[shadowofthelulz]

@ndknight23 Edgar would beg to differ.

[SuperHarley1989]

@ndknight23 Todos falavam isso antes de BJ lutar com Frank Edgar

[scarstruck85]

gomi won't beat penn, but he can take florian imo. we shall see

[rarnpa]

What was Florians entrance song? I cant place it...any help?

[ovceh]

UFC sucks. watch k1 fightclub. much better.

[Freelyrycs]

Florian is coming to Lloydminster, the border of Alberta and Saskatchewan, to watch the fights.

[FastandFurious450]

gomi shouldve won. i was rootin for him

[Enoki2487]

I saw this live in person! Kenny outclassed Gomi, which I predicted, but it was so amazing to watch a legend like Gomi live.

[julakiss]

it really looked like Gomi's time is over. I wish he could have come to ufc sooner.

[soreal4eva]

really hope gomi can bounce back from this loss, he can do better

[stevestoner13]

@soreal4eva

[stevestoner13]

@stevestoner13 Gomi can do a helluva lot better, he's just lazy and complacent with the American style of training and doing things.

[KenjiTrueVideoTube]

who won?

[soreal4eva]

@KenjiTrueVideoTube Kenflo

[KenjiTrueVideoTube]

@soreal4eva yes!!!!! do you have the video so i know what did he do to gomi? and i add you

[soreal4eva]

@KenjiTrueVideoTube go to mixedmartialartvideos . com they have the video uploaded already

[misterpimp5757]

i see kennys reach as an advantage in the fight....seeing that he got alot of hits on gomi and gomi barely got any but a few kicks.

i hope gomi can come back and show his true colors in the future.

[abbbcdy]

Gomi got destroyed by Kenflo..

[justfine77777]

I would have liked to have seen Gomi win, but it was not his night. I doubt any other night would be if he performs like he did last night. Neither one of them have anything for B.J. Penn. I think they better look to cut weight, and go to the WEC.

[KTFO1212]

I wish the Lights went out the moment Roy Nelson buckled Struve haha that woulda been more interresting..

[BeansRBeansMMA]

Kenny Florian is the MAN!! HELL YEAH!!  Kenny is a scientist in the octagon!! I want a BJ/ Florian rematch badly!!!!

[rapidspit]

aw fuck gomi lost

[BeansRBeansMMA]

@rapidspit Gomi looked PISS POOR tonight almost as bad as Houston vs Kimbo!!

[vls174]

Gomi is probably one of the most clever fighter at least, since he is japanese.

[Terck12]

florian looks like ben stiller...

ahhahhahah :D HAHAH lol.

[mikehuynhzer]

gomi isnt the same

[mikehuynhzer]

gomi isnt the same

[Kdaddy61987]

Man gomi hasnt looked good the last 6 fights, to me he and w.silva look the most different over the years. They both look like they dont know what to do anymore. Silva after loss to franklin and win over bisping looks like always looks like somethings missing like in his head hes saying why couldnt i kncok him out. Like gomi hasnt looked good this last 6 fights and after the fight looked lost like he didnt a veteran player who doesnt have it anymore.

[1exotic]

jesus christ, gomi is ugly as fuck.

[604PENNYWISE]

I cant wait for tonight! gonna be a good night of fights!

[IldeTheTerror]

c'mon florian won't get caught... He's going to win tonight!

[Jimmy0240]

Can't wait to see this fight! Should be a good one.

[burkey218]

gomi wont win tonight i gotta very good feeling florian got it gomi is no where near as good as he was!

[withoutmeds]

isnt it crazy that kenflo started out on the ultimate fighter. i didnt think much of him back then

[saintpk3]

gomi will win it but i dont see him beating bj penn...ever

[killerdemon304703]

well i got 2 of this on usa and channal 45 and pay per veiw

[conorlu3]

does anyone know the song from the begining of the Florian v Gomi weigh in video??

thanks

[themeaningoflife38]

why does florian want to get back to the top? BJ already whooped his ass.

Gomi gonna whoop his ass too.

[gunfighterdrummer]

"Florian is not going to get in my way"

those are strong words.

[brucebwsb]

quero que o takanori gomi vença

[youngflymista]

isn't funny that all these former pride fighters say they want to bring back what they had in pride?

[Kalires333]

Kenflo cant knockout Gomi, Gomi has never been KO'ed his ENTIRE career and has an iron chin.

only chance i see for Kenflo is on the ground, standing Kenflo doesnt have a chance.

it will most likely be a wrestling match because i dont think Kenflo has the balls to stand with Gomi.

[youngflymista]

isn't that what they said about mir and nog?

[Kalires333]

Gomi isnt mir or Nog.

[jissquared]

I respectfully disagree. Yes Gomi hits a lot harder than Kenny, but as far as technical profiency with his stand-up, Kenflo is better. He also has a much better pedigree in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has been on a tear as of late. Gomi on the other hand, hasn't looked nearly as dominant as his pride days and has dropped two of his last four fights. I'm picking Kenflo by third round submission.

[Kalires333]

i dont think Kenflo has a better stand-up but EVEN if he does GOMI has Never been knockout his ENTIRE CAREER and has an iron chin.

in his fight vs against Mishima(i think) Gomi was on the ground and took a CRAZY Soccer kick RIGHT ON the CHIN and he got up like nothing happened.

GOmi is not vulnerable on the ground either, he was a championship wrestler but PREFERS to stand.

if Kenflo wins i see it by submission or decision but NO WAY IN HELL BY KO.

[piscesguy92]

@jissquared nice man! Right on the button. Kenflo got it in 3rd by rear naked!

[54326brand]

@jissquared hey how r u who is your fav fighter from ufc

[townbythetown]

is this on spike or is it another ppv? they're putting out way too many ppvs who can afford 55$ a week

[gear114]

Its free

[xTURDSANDWICHx]

spike

[GeorgeRUSHsp]

Gomi a good test for BJ? Doubt it... BJ is on another fucking planet right now.

[xTURDSANDWICHx]

yeah planet getting fucked in the ass cause hes a homo

[KTFO1212]

your name is turdsandwich...you shouldnt be calling anyone a homo expecially someone whos a UFC champion and has acomplished more shit in his life then you will ever do even if you lived to be200.

[xTURDSANDWICHx]

@KTFO1212 You have number sin your name nuff' said

[KTFO1212]

@xTURDSANDWICHx good one? lmao

[AFGalwayz]

gomi put up a better fight vs BJ then florian....gomi actually made it a fight.

[LU15GB]

dude i hope gomi wins

[CloakedEmotions]

Oooh I dunno about this one. I like both of these guys, and I can only hope they give it their all.

[espada9]

Gomi is past his prime, Florian will dominate him.

No one is going to beat BJ Penn right now, he's on another level.

[datyroth]

Yeah!!! Gomi, I hope he can be a good test for BJ.

[pedigreeY2J]

I respect Gomi but Kenflo FTW !

[saskpilsner]

lets go gomi!!! hope he knocks out ben stiller.

[pedigreeY2J]

Hey ! he's an awesome fighter ! .... And actor

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahaha o Oh men!!! Hahahahaha so fuckin' funny
