What happen to it
I mean people talk about Gomi's weakness being the sub defense, but for the first ten years ins his career, fighters who subbed Gomi are
BJ Penn
Marcus Aurelio - One of the biggest upsets in the history of MMA
Nick Diaz - pretty big upset back then. It's crazy how famous Nick Diaz became, considering he was struggling to beat some of the guys who were not as well known before he made his way into UFC again.
Then, afterwards
Kitaoka
Florian
frigging Guida
Nate Diaz
Other than frigging Guida, all of those guys are really really legit submission guys. For example, BJ Penn had Gomi's back for almost entire first round but Gomi fended off and weathered the storm. On the other hand, BJ Penn tapped Matt Hughes after getting his back in the first round, and when he fought Florian, it was pretty quick submission, unless my memory is playing tricks on me, when he took Florian down and took his back.
But then, he is losing to fighters on the level of Lauzon....
Gomi hasn't looked good in a decade really, but come to think about it, I think that's what people were saying back then, his sub defense being his weakness, but he just keeps looking worse and worse and worse and worse.
