NICE! I'll be the first to say that Gomi is going to get absolutely destroyed on the feet or the ground.

WAR BARBOZA!

Feet? I doubt it. Ground? Always a possibility.

I love this fight for Gomi. Less nervous for him then fighting Guida.

I know you love Gomi, but Barboza is a much better striker. If Gomi could land one of his big looping punches, who knows... but I wouldn't count on it. Both Guida and Barboza are bad matchups for Gomi, IMO.

I think Gomi is going to sleep.

I do! Love for the pride guys has crushed me before, but I really don't hate thi match up. I agree with you saying Barbosa is a more well rounded striker. He really is. Like you said again Gomi has the chance to connect, if he does...lookout. I'm not extremely confident but I do think he could win.

Going to sleep? That I dunno about. Unless its a choke I just can't see it. When do you remember Gomi being Ko'd?

Either way Rio is going to be epic.

dont wanna see Gomi cut! Shoulda put him against Lowe or someone he could beat before throwing him in with another hungry young competitor. But then again if he cant hang he shouldnt be there

Wow, already 3 matches I am very interested in. Its very rare that I can be interested in 3 matches of only one UFC card.
Hopefully they add Nog, Machida and some other great fighters to the card.
It has the potential to be one of the best cards in UFC history.
