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

Kenny-thug4_medium

... 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 ...

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.

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.

Kenny will beat him easily

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.

please Gomi

All i want for my birthday is for you to knock out kenny

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.

by matmar87 on Feb 8, 2010 3:14 PM EST reply actions  

but what i must ask

when will we get to see kenny come out in his samurai costume again?

by BJPennfan on Feb 8, 2010 3:18 PM EST reply actions  

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

by tkosteve on Feb 8, 2010 3:21 PM EST reply actions  

yeah but

Gomi has proven he hasn’t been taking mma too seriously, coming in overweight, out of shape and really looking bad!

by kevjack115 on Feb 8, 2010 3:26 PM EST up reply actions  

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

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.

by domino effect on Feb 8, 2010 3:57 PM EST reply actions  

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.

by theworldismine on Feb 8, 2010 7:20 PM EST reply actions  

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!!!

by (shonuff) on Feb 8, 2010 8:19 PM EST reply actions  

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.

by Wolfgangsta on Feb 9, 2010 2:16 AM EST reply actions  

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.
