PRIDE Bushido vol. 08 Preview: "King of the Distance – Who Can Go the Distance?" He has overwhelmingly made his point to everyone he has confronted, including the former king of the lightweights, Jens Pulver, and Ralph Gracie, who has been MIA from Bushido MMA since that lightning quick devastating right knee signed by Takanori Gomi.

Perhaps the reason Gomi was less known before, is because he belonged to Shooto, a long running MMA organization which is smaller than Pride or UFC. www.boutreviewusa.com /SpecialFeatures/27gomikawajiri.html   (1528 words)
