I have once.
Takanori Gomi vs. Nick Diaz in 2007.
I don’t know how many of you people were on this forum from 2005-2007, but about 90% of the people here kissed Pride’s ass.
Most people here were like “OMG, Pride Rules!! UFC sucks!!!” And a lot of people were predicting Gomi over Diaz.
I had seen Nick compete against Sean Sherk in 2006, and Nick held his own. The fight was pretty much a draw. Diaz stuffed a lot of Sherk’s takedowns.
Sean Sherk then went on to annihilate Kenny Florian in October 2006 to win the UFC LW championship.
I had also seen Diaz eat bombs from Robbie Lawler and Joe Riggs, and not get wobbled and keep going. So I thought since he took shots from those two, hung with Sherk, he’d do jussst fine against Gomi. Hell, I picked Diaz over Gomi on MMAplayground.com
Wasn’t surprised the day after the fight when I saw on Sherdog that Diaz gogoplata’d Gomi.
Well, that’s the biggest upset I’ve predicted. How about you?
