| Loser leaves town i reckon. I think Gomi might be comfortable going balls out with George. This is a winnable fight for him. http://www.ufc.com/news/ufc-144-fight-card-updatesLooks like a good time...that arena better be dead silent. Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar (C) vs. Benson Henderson Light-Heavyweight bout: Quinton Jackson vs. Ryan Bader Heavyweight bout: Cheick Kongo vs. Mark Hunt Welterweight bout: Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Jake Shields Lightweight bout: Anthony Pettis vs. Joe Lauzon Middleweight bout: Yushin Okami vs. Tim Boetsch Middleweight bout: Riki Fukuda vs. Steve Cantwell Bantamweight bout: Kid Yamamoto vs. Vaughan Lee Bantamweight bout: Takeya Mizugaki vs. Chris Cariaso Lightweight bout: Takanori Gomi vs. George Sotiropoulos Featherweight bout: Hatsu Hioki vs. Bart Palaszewski Featherweight bout: Tiequan Zhang vs. Leonard Garcia | |

| Definitely be partying it up old school style that night
Rooting for Gomi hardcore and winnable fight, but he could definitely get subbed if it hits the deck, especially later in the fight. George is hittable though and his wrestling is nothing special | |

| George is going to have a hard time taking Gomi down based on what we've seen. Guida had trouble early on getting Gomi down and his wrestling is quite a bit better than George's ever were. That said if George can get it down and get on top he takes this 10 out of 10 times. I'm going to go with Gomi by savage knockout. | |

| If it is the Soto that absolutely dominated Stevenson, Pellgrino, and Louzon come UFC 144, he should be able to box with and get Gomi down. Anything less and he will get hurt bads. | |
