I want to see Melendez in the UFC. Not just because he's such a great fighter, but because he will have no chance at all against Gomi, who is a much better striker, faster, more accurate, has heavier hands, a better chin, and is a better wrestler. Although I do want to see Melendez/Azeredo first -- that would be a great fight to have in their next US show.
I like Aoki a lot. It's good to see a guy who brings that old school flair/style. And Gil is just so exciting and aggressive. I really wish the LW fights were 10-5-5, I just don't see the rationale behind having the better conditioned fighters have shorter fights.
Gomi is amazing and one of my favorites in the sport. He could fight Ishida again, and he would not likely have such an easy fight. These things happen in MMA. My wife an I were watching the fight on PPV tonight, and I said to her, I hope to hell Gomi fights Melendez next. I like to make the money, you know. Gomi would KO him, with the only risk being Melendez excellent wrestling takedowns. The Fireball Kid is an amazing fighter. Can't wait to see him in UFC.
