Takanori Gomi signs with Rizin and fighting on NYE (maybe?)

[Katsumi Yamada]

Is that what this means?

Who should he fight? Glad he's not in the UFC anymore, if true.

 

[Mixfight]

Gomi vs Krazy Horse.

Gomi vs Krazy Horse.

Wow great idea.

The answer was staring me right in the face.

Return to the ring of Japan soon __ # New Year's Eve

This is the google translation

>Glad he's not in the UFC anymore

Agreed.

Kron by RNC at 1:33 Round 1

It doesn’t necesarilly mean it will be a fight in RIZIN, it could also be him hinting at an exhibition kickboxing or boxing match like the ones that have been taking place on NYE in previous years.

However if it’s him taking one more fight in RIZIN on NYE, them I’m all for it.

 

[KenkaBancho]

He fought Masato and lost badly last year. Wouldn't mind seeing him again. A kickboxing fight with KID would be dope.

He can't get VISA for Japan

The other guy by RNC round 1

Spoiler

 

[tinobar]

He should of been cut long time ago maybe make his univeatable return to‘the Japan ring ‘ more palatable

Should retire. He's been finished 5 fights in a row.

I literally had a dream a few hours ago that Gomi was booked to fight Yamamoto (but it was in the UFC).

RIZIN should definitely be targeting that fight, along with Gomi-Aoki.

 

[skylolow]

I'm sorry, always have enjoyed Gomi fights through his career. But at this point he really needs to retire. The level of fighter he'd need to fight to get wins now would do nothing for his career besides collect a paycheck. Just nothing interesting left for him in the cage or ring.

Also Sean the real OC Oconnel tweeted at em this morning about being an exciting 93kg and english speaking commentator

 

[MiroHa]

Feed him to Kron

Sorry Gomi

Is KID still a big celebrity in Japan? I've seen him at RIZIN events cornering his family members and training with them on promo videos so I've been thinking if he's going to make a comeback in RIZIN.

 

[Steve-French]

How about a Joachim Hansen rematch?

 

[IndyCovaHart]

It's about time he stopped wasting UFC roster space.

You forgot to add Joachim Hansen to that list.
