Wouldnt be surprised at all to see Mitsuoka sub Gomi at this point

8

At least we know a Japanese fighter will actually win. Phone Post

 To be fair if Gomi decently showed up we might have seen Gomi vs Tyson or George vs Dos Anjos type of result by way of Gomi winning by tko.



its MMA anything could happen and lets not forget George doesnt have the best TDs nor chin

 Damn, at one point George was a fight or two away from fighting for the belt, now it seems like he can't catch a break.

Was looking forward to that one.

Ya, I think there is a possibility Mitsuoka is a worse matchup for Gomi. Mitsuoka could grind Gomi down
