I thought he even had trouble making 160? I will admit i would love to see the fights you mention Adam. They should be good Can Gomi make the 155 limit? I thought he even had trouble making 160?

Melendez is arguably top three and Ishida pretty much handled him. Think of the matchups for Gomi in the UFC: Gomi v. Huerta Gomi v. Penn 2 Gomi v. Joe Daddy Gomi v. Sherk Gomi v. Fisher Gomi v. Guida Gomi v. Griffin Those are some huge matchups right there. You'd have to think that if they bring him in he gets an immediate title shot for a "Champion vs. Champion" PPV. Ishida impressed the hell out of me at Yarennoka. Melendez is arguably top three and Ishida pretty much handled him.

Think of the matchups for Gomi in the UFC:

Gomi v. Huerta
Gomi v. Penn 2
Gomi v. Joe Daddy
Gomi v. Sherk
Gomi v. Fisher
Gomi v. Guida
Gomi v. Griffin

Those are some huge matchups right there. You’d have to think that if they bring him in he gets an immediate title shot for a “Champion vs. Champion” PPV.

Kawajiri and Ishida both have the ability to reign supreme. T-Blood should just move their camp to the U.S. and start crushing people. Kawajiri and Ishida both have the ability to reign supreme.

It gave a strong impression to me, later in the article, that many japanese fighters are looking at North America as the proving grounds now(not a big surprise really). And that more and more may be coming over here to fight, not only for the competition but that the paydays are worth it as well. So maybe will get lucky and Gomi will sign with the UFC or any American based promotion and we can see him fight over here more often. I really do hope the UFC brings in the GCM tournament winners, especially Yoshida, because I think they have some good talent for them to use.
