Do you recognize the name “Takanori Gomi”? If so, congrats! You are neither a TUF Noob nor a Kimbo Noob. However, if the name doesn’t ring a bell, this is all you need to know about the former Pride lightweight champ: he can punch, he’s a fanboy favorite, and like his opponent Kenny Florian, he loses when he fights BJ Penn. Predictions!
- Gomi is totally an awesome, top-level competitor. If we take a time machine back to 2006, that is. Though clearly not the best in his division, Florian is the better fighter, and will win via New England Clam Chowda Choke.
- Roy Nelson is fighting Stefan Struve, which pits a fat guy against a tall, skinny guy. Did Joe Silva let his eight-year-old nephew handle the matchmaking for this one? Is Nelson going to take on a really short guy next? Nelson via bludgeoning with his big TUF Lucite.
- Not counting the referee, the combined age of those in the cage for the Nate Quarry/Jorge Rivera bout will be 214 years. Think about that one.
- Ross Pearson vs. Dennis Siver pits a Brit against a German fighter. I’m picking Siver, if only because there’s a joke in there about the Blitzkrieg and Pearson getting bombed.
