"BJ, Florian have a jiu-jitsu base so I had a hard time dealing with them but the champion has a wrestling base so I can fight him calmly. I’m aiming for the belt? Yes, I am. I think I can take the belt. Hmmm…I wonder if I’m stronger than the champ?"

What do you guys think? With the fall of BJ and Kenny does Gomi have a shot at gold?

nah he is what 1-1 he needs to beat atleast on more contender but I can see his case cause sadly enough he is in the mix do to circumstances.

I think he has a punchers chance.

I think he has a chance down the line. Tyson Griffin has been on a skid, Guida can't seem to put together enough consecutive wins, BJ and Kenny seem disinterested, Diego is now a WW, just seems like the top of the division is more wide open then it has been in awhile.

^ have to agree sooner as sad as it is. Gomi 1-1 is in the mix

The loss to Florian hurts how bad?

For him I think it hurts less then most. Also the top of the LW division hasn't been too strong, that helps.

He has to beat BJ if he wants a shot IMO, BJ worked him in the first fight and I think the same would happen now.

I see him losing to BJ, Maynard, Edgar, and Kenny again. The problem is Gomi's gas tank. Any fighter that pushes the pace against him will fold Gomi. He would have to repeat the Griffin fight over and over again for him to climb up the ladder.

BJ Penn isn't a gas tank type guy either.


Oh man, I just an image of Penn and Gomi(the two goats mind you, right?) gassed and fighting poorly against eachother in the third round.

Then Jens comes into the cage to challenge the winner.

And they all lose to Anthony Njqugaybasher or whatever his name is.

I know, just supporting a fellow Aussie.

he's got awesome boxing and he seems very strong on the ground. edgar may be too quick for him, and i think maynard controls him with his LnP, but i think he can be a top 5 fighter for sure

Unless Gomi can learn wrestling Matrix style he's got no chance.

short answer: no

long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Frankie and Gray would outsmart him. Gomi never fights smart. Ever. Smarts, and putting away your pride, is becoming a larger and larger determining factor in championships.
