-notable wins (good fighters and prospects AT THE TIME): Pulver, Sakurai, Kawajiri, Ishida, Ralph Gracie, 4-0 against Chute Boxe LWs
-win streak: 10
-won Pride2005 GP via Kawajir i> Azeredo > Sakurai
-other top LWs circa 2004-2005 that would have put Gomi's top status into question: none because:
*BJ left LW and started fighting WW and openweight after beating Gomi during 2004-2005
*Sean Sherk did not debut at LW until 2006
*Florian didn't take off until 2007
*Stevenson (if we need to mention him in the same sentence as a GOAT Gomi) did not start his short streak until 2006
*Cerrone and Benson are notable LWs but did not even EXIST in mma until 2006
*Melendez was still young in his career 2004-2005
the UFC LW div did not even exist during Gomi's run, Gomi fought former UFC and Shoot champions during his run so it's hard to question his legacy and wins but apparently it still gets questioned
