Gomi by first round knockout? You betta recognize ...

... and git with da "Flo."
"I think he will find out very quickly that [knocking me out is] going to be a very difficult thing to do. I didn’t get to where I am by getting beat in the first round and I’m looking forward to seeing if that’s going to come true. Gomi is a tough guy. He was the best in the world for a long time."
Boston bruiser and perennial lightweight contender Kenny Florian (via The Boston Herald) dismisses Takanori's prediction of a first round knockout when "The Fireball Kid" makes his UFC debut opposite "KenFlo" at UFC Fight Night 21 from the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Wednesday, March 31. The MMA community is already abuzz about the prospect of a rematch between Gomi and current division kingpin BJ Penn, but he won't get there without toppling the constantly improving Florian -- whose only losses in his past 12 fights have been at the hands of Sean Sherk and "The Prodigy." Fireball? Or fizzle out? Your prediction on Gomi's debut is ...

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

That would be the only way BJ Penn loses a fight at 155..

That wasn’t hilarious at all. What are you talking about?

Plus I thought he did actually have Asian writing on his pec or shoulder blade or somewhere.

Easy to predict..
Gomi comes in swinging like a maniac trying to hit a homerun. He might even stun Kenny and drop him but Kenny will survive. His cardio will fail and then it’s all Kenny’s game. Kenny by UD. 29-28. Kenny doesn’t get the respect he deserves, I would even go as far to say he’s better then Gomi in every aspect except for maybe the wrestling. Kenny will win this pretty easily, maybe a slight scare if he gets tagged, but thats it. Gomi has been far from impressive lately.
this is my only criticism of this article
photoshopped tats could have been alot cheesier.
Happy now?
And they say I don’t do enough to please the fans
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

Would've preferred Gomi/Sherk

Pulling for Gomi in this one
But Kenny’s gonna dominate; would be nice if Gomi could land a big shot and end it just so BJ Penn had a new challenger.

KenFlo by 1st round TKO
This fight will be an embarrassing debut for Gomi. Kenny is back on track since his loss to BJ with an impressive destruction of Clay Guida and he’s gonna use that momentum to (don’t laugh) ‘flo’ through the Fire Ball Kid. Florian is just generally better then Gomi in nearly every area, save for the KO power that Gomi possesses, but that will be easily nulified by Kenny’s superior muay thai skills. Look for KenFlo to make a statement and not only put Gomi away, but do it quickly as well.
peopleare taking gomi to littley
i hate to say this but the sonnen nate fight prove if you underestmate people they are dangerous .kenflo has more of a fight than he thinks .gomi can def ko him .i think is gonna let this chance go to waste
yeah but
Gomi has proven he hasn’t been taking mma too seriously, coming in overweight, out of shape and really looking bad!
I dont know...bad debut fight for Gomi, but I have never really seen him lose any stand up wars minus the diaz fight in which he was in the worst shape I had ever seen!
Th6e perfect debut fig5h6t would have been:
Gomi vs, Melvin Guillard! Now thats fireworks!
SHoulda given him Maynard
that way if Gomi knocks him out he has a solid win over a legit contender, and he ends any prospect of us haveing to watch BJ put another 4 to 5 round boxing clinic
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
littley?
Lashleys titties?
Littley = literally? Little? Lightly?

Florian
I think he is the 2nd or 3rd best 155lb fighter in the world right now. I would like to see him fight Aoki to prove who is the 2nd best. Gomi….I hate to say it but his best days are behind him. He just has not looked that great in the past 2 years or so.
that pic is real
Florian is a straight up gangsta. I think he s rollin with the Bloods. Gomi better look out Ken-Flo will release his pitbulll on him.
Kenny
1st round submission. I think this might be the best kenny we’ve seen.
Very excited
to finally see Gomi in the Octogon. Took them long enough!
Man, he draws KenFlo for his UFC debut…talk about throwing somebody directly into the deep end!!!
When was the last time a Japanese LW
won anything significant in the UFC? Oh ya, never.
Besides, Gomi is washed up, and former Pride stars always have bad debuts.
This has one sided beat down written all over it and is a piece of shit main event.
its one of the better FN main events I can remember actually

Ya I donno man...
I like main events to be at least somewhat competitive on paper. Faded Japanese LW of yesteryear making a promotional and US debut against a top five fighter doesn’t seem that solid to me.
