		Takanori Gomi proved once again why he is the very best lightweight fighter in the world by defeating the bigger and more experienced Hayato “Mach” Sakarai in the finals of the Pride lightweight tournament.
		Gomi had an absolutely unbelievable 2005 and very few fighters have had to face the level of talent that he did in such a short span of time over the last 12 months.
		Gomi’s dominance in 2005 will surely lead him to some great fights in 2006, but he will be hard pressed to improve upon his performance from the last year.

		The fatalistic Takanori Gomi was in no way in fighting mode when he confronted ZST GP Champion Marcus Aurelio, a talented veteran, but in no ways as experienced in MMA or as lethal a fighter.
		Watching Gomi's reaction after the fight, he seemed rather non-chalant and unmoved by the loss, as if he needed to jump into the icy waters to reinvigorate his desire for the fight.
		Takanori Gomi proved to the world that even being one of the best MMA fighters in the world, if you are not focused or don't feel the passion, you can lose in this sharp skilled game.

		Gomi dominated the entire fight as Silva was not at Gomi’s level, but he did show tremendous heart.
		Gomi has a slight edge in striking, but Kawajiri is a better ground fighter and should be able to take it to the ground at will.

	MMA Analyst - Takanori Gomi
		Gomi is a great fighter, and he proved to me that he is still a dangerous striker with the ability to counter and attack with dynamite power.
		Gomi is now added to the list of fighters who are arguably #1 ranked in their respective divisions, but have managed to stay away from the tragedy of being defeated in the Octagon.
		Gomi has some good wrestling and some powerful hands, but I think the UFC may be a bit much for a man who can make millions in Japan in sponsorships and purses.

		Without a doubt, Takanori Gomi is one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.

		Gomi was born in 1977 in Kanagawa and learned boxing at the age of 17.
		In 2001 Gomi was already the Shooto welterweight champion; he lost his belt to Norwegian Joachim Hansen in 2003, though.
		And we must agree Gomi is a fearless man, for he went overboard by striking a KO’d Azevedo in their first fight.

		With his record at a perfect 10-0 in Pride coming into the fight, Gomi was expected to walk out victorious once again and he may have overlooked the skills of the American Top Team member.
		He landed a textbook takedown on Gomi early on and just smothered him on the ground, going for multiple submissions and eventually landing a head and arm choke that put Gomi to sleep.
		Gomi is much more accomplished and the best fighter in the world in my opinion in his weight class...but Marcus won and finished him and that's a lot.

	Five Ounces of Pain \| 5 Oz. Exclusive: UFC deal with Takanori Gomi falls through
		So I would guess Gomi is probably just figuring out for himself, whether it is better to continue to fight in Japan for cheaper and possibly have a longer term career and post-career opportunities, or fight in the UFC for slightly more money as “that little Jap guy with the big head who KO’s people”.
		Gomi is smart not to come to the UFC if he has other options because the lightweight bracket is stacked, and any one of the top 5 would give him a tough fight and probably beat him.
		Gomi doesnt even like the UFC for what to come over possibly loose and then his career is ruined and everyone to make a big deal about the loss and start saying, Oh is his career over.

		BJ V Gomi at the Blaisdell Arena in Oahu on October 10th.
		I beleive Gomi to be overrated, he is certainly skilled but has faced lack-luster opposition where many other LW's have been facing only the best in efforts to become recognized as the best.
		As much as BJ wanted there to be very few rules, Gomi did not like the stopms, kicks, knees or elbows on the ground or to a downed fighter.

		And Gomi never said that he was going to necessearly move up in weight class...he did say that he wanted to fight Silva and Hendo...but not that he was going to fight as a LHW...i can't even see Gomi with 93 kg on him...lol.
		Whatever KYO...you can continue with your poor arguements...and btw, if Gomi takes on Hendo or Silva or he fights in the open weight gp i wanna see whit what will you come out again...because even if he said that he was gonna take a year with easy...it doesn't mean that he won't fight at all.

	Report: Takanori Gomi has no immediate UFC plans at UFC blog for UFC news, results, videos, rumors, fights, pics and ...
		Gomi was beating the crap out of Diaz mostly but he got careless and got caught.
		Lately (prior to the Gomi fight) he realized and admitted that he needed to focus on strength training, finishing his fights to keep it out of the judges hands and a better understanding of the UFC scoring for when it does go to decision.
		Gomi is a better fighter now, while Penn doesn’t look to me to have the same conditioning he did 3 or 4 years ago.

		Gomi is going to be Prides money machine in the little guy category, thats why they're throwing him a has-been loser like Pulver to eat up effortlessly.
		Gomi is a HUGE star in Japan so I wouldnt anticipate Pride risking his rep any time soon with a tough opponent.
		On the other hand, Gomi is a tough dude, and with his constant shooting I don't think Pulver will have the opportunity to KO him.
