Takanori Gomi vs Nate Diaz ... FINALLY!!

Underground
21

orcus -  Good card except Hunt/Rothwell.


 Really? I know there's no major title or rankings implications, but that's finally a fight where those two can just stand and wang. I was kinda looking forward to that one.

Not a great match-up. Once it hits the ground, Nate will win easily.

 I think Rothwell will take him down and it will be as exciting as Rothwell/Yvel, i.e., not very. I guess it would be fun to see Hunt get a nice KO like he did in his last fight, but I don't think that will happen.

Schrute Boxe -  If Nate wins via GoGo my head will explode.


 This.

hiimbored - So I guess Diaz is dropping back down to 155? Either way, should be a good fight.

I think that is the case. I think Gomi is too small for 170. With Kid and Gomi on the same card, I kinda hope both their opponents pull out then Kid just says fuck it and calls out Gomi for a catchweight fight at ~150. That is one fight myself and other long time MMA fans have always wanted to see!

fabes - Nate ain't no bitch.


And he's no Nick either. Gomi by stoppage or dec.

WAR GOMI

28

Hmm, looking at that gif Gomi is the only guy I remember knocking down Diaz (even if it was partly possum) except for Daley

29

HtownLegend -  Diaz by whatever he wants


 

30

I hope the loser stays.. this is gonna be a war

31

Nate is fighting at LW again now?

Geez, make up your mind, homie.

32

Anyone think gomi should drop to 145? Phone Post

33

 Has the potential to be a great fight for the fans! I've always been a Gomi fan and Nate Diaz has grown on me over time

Naughty Gorilla - Hmm, looking at that gif Gomi is the only guy I remember knocking down Diaz (even if it was partly possum) except for Daley
Didn't Noons, Zaromskis, and maybe Cyborg all put him on his ass at one point?

Sarah Kaufman -  Has the potential to be a great fight for the fans! I've always been a Gomi fan and Nate Diaz has grown on me over time


 same here



will be interesting to see how the styles will clash



plus the history of this fight will be epic too, especially if Nick is in Nate's corner



this fight had better be on the main draw on the PPV
