Gomi - 3 Straight 1st Round TKO Losses

[rj144]

I just realized that Gomi has now lost 3 straight fights by TKOs in the first round. That's kind of incredible considering how feared he was in Pride. Do you recall any other UFC fighter losing by first round TKO in 3 straight fights? I can't.

No heart, No chin...

Gomi was a legend but he just needs to retire...

OR...

Drop to FW, rematch Kawajiri (after he loses to Swanson) and then retire...

my first though was munoz but looked it up and he lost 3 in a row 1st round but 2 were by submission.

I can't either. I think it's a record.

he has faced some killers. and should be fighting at 145.

A shell of his former self, yet I always find myself pulling for him, just hoping he can have a fight where he can showcase his skills one last time and get a W.

Chin is shot. He's been absorbing blows for years with his face.

 

[Andy Anderson]

He's following Liddell and Cro Cop's path. hope he knows when to hang up his gloves

 

[Abazzdeboom]

No longer the same since that flying cock drop....

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Sorry Takanori, it's time to Gomi

Been thinking of this for a while now, but he just needs to retire.

He's been shot since the end of PRIDE, he NEEDS to stop!

He's also pretty much tarnished his legacy with this drop-off, which is a pity.

 

[MadHouse]

Gomi loses to anyone that can throw a punch at this point

Think about this. Jim Miller's best days have probably past him up. Gomi's best days have been behind him for so long, that when Jim Miller made his first UFC debut, Gomi was already past his prime and being inconsistent. Time to retire.

He used to have one of the top 5 chins in the game. I guess that's what happens when you get hit that many times. Even an iron chin can deteriorate.

I also feel like a lot of his shots came on the ground due to his weak ground game. It's like he always gets his back taken and flattenened out belly down these days and his opponents are free to just wing heavy hooks to both of his temples.

I remember when he used to be so explosive and violent but I guess you can't stay that way forever.
