Florian vs Gomi

Florian vs Gomi The historic Gomi gets his first fight in the UFC tonight. The problem is it is against Florian. Florian is the best lightweight in the UFC not named BJ Penn. Gomi looked great at the weigh in but fighting in the Octagon is a totally different experience then fighting in a ring. Florian is an exceptional fighter on the ground and that is where I see this fight happening. Gomi was a great striker and may well still be, but only an idiot would fight him standing up when you are dominant on the ground. Florian is no such idiot. The Bet Florian -350. Pearson, Quarry, Nelson should also be winners. This is a good free card from the UFC.

Florian was great in the first firing the jab, the second sucked as no one did much of anything. Finally Florian took Gomi down in the 3rd and choking him out.
