It counts for nothing though really imo, Fedor is much bigger and that was always going to be the outcome.
Other random MMA news I saw today is that Shane Carwin finally has a nickname, I can't find the story now, but his new nickname is.... the Engineer.
I wouldn't say it counts for absolutely nothing, as Aoki is a fantastic grappler and it simply a grappling match. But it pretty much counts for nothing, which is why it went here instead of in a thread of its own.
It would be like finding out Rashad Evans beat PJ Penn in a grappling competition. It doesn't really mean anything, but its still kinda cool. You expect the bigger athlete to triumph, but its just cool to see two elite talents go at it as the size different makes it almost impossible to happen in an MMA fight.
This is Wandi's walk out shirt for 99, and I fucking love it. Not sure what the back of the shirt looks like but with shirts like this is seems to consist of pretty much the same as the front with minor differences.
“The guy’s a lot better than I thought. I wrestled and rolled with him, and he’s hard as fuck to take down, hard to hold down. He’s a lot stronger than he looks. He looks good, fit, but he’s strong. He’s fast, he’s an athlete. He’s a fucking good athlete. That’s the most surprising thing…. Coming in, I know how tough Dan (Henderson) is. I fought alongside him in Pride and I didn’t know … now I’m confident in Mike. Sparring and wrestling with him has made me confident.”
Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Now that the (Brett) Cooper fight was called off can we expect your next fight be in Japan or in the United States?
Takanori Gomi: My next fight will be in the U.S. Now we have several offers from some promoters, including, of course, Affliction. We are considering all those offers right now. I am willing to have a fight in the U.S. as soon as possible. I want to show the U.S. fans my fighting spirit.
Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): Has the UFC ever been in contact with you about potentially joining its organization going forward? If so, how did those discussions go?
Takanori Gomi (MMAmania.com): We do have their offer and we are in the middle of discussion.
Derek Bolender (MMAmania.com): What is the motivation for you wanting to come to the United States and fight at this stage in your career?
Takanori Gomi: My motivation is to innovate myself.
Gomi doesn't seen like he is in the right state for Penn, though.
