Sengoku 4 looks pretty good actually, i think Trigg& Gomi should (and eventually will) go over to DREAM, but i think FEG has their had in DREAM, WVR, Sengoku sooo they took the money that UFC gave them for PRIDE waited a year or so and created three leauges instead of on… anyways good fight on those cards imo
I wish Gomi was in the UFC!!!!! He’s another one of those fighters I want to see matched up with almost anyone.
i think he has only fought in the USA 2times and both times he has loss (Nicks win got overturned by the NSAC ofcourse we all know that and why, he got destroyed by BJ Penn in Hawaii) perhaps he doesnt want to fight in the USA anymore i dont know just saying, i would love to see him fight in the UFC not going to happen though i think BJ should go to Japan to fight Gomi again…
UFC has already claimed Europe and Canada I think Lorenzo needs to focus of Japan. The japanese public love fighters, and it could be a huge market to get. One of the big problems is, to telecast the shows they would be on at terrible hours (anyone who’s watched DREAM live on HDnet knows what I’m talking about). But I’m not sure if there are legal issues with Dream and coming on to there turf.
i would think there would be one or two legal issues with the UFC going to Japan, god it would awesome, futhermore why hasnt the UFC gone back to Brazil seriously come’on in the “earlydays” the went to Brazil, Japan why not do it again…. and watching Dream super late or whatever is a pain kinda but well worth it their GP was awesome
