You should start a thread in the World Wide Discussion about how Gomi is not a top fighter
I'm sure it will go over well

Gomi's one of the reasons why BJ Penn was considered the P4P best fighter at the time. Going through the best WW, LW and then winning fights at MW. Going the distance with a heavyweight Machida :eek:

Anderson Silva still thinks he's the GOAT.

Penn had beaten Gomi already yeah but the level of comp Gomi was facing, and rofl-stomping at the time was thought as better than what Penn was doing so like Cubicle said, there was an argument ot be made and could be believed that Gomi was the best at the time.

Back then people were arguing like crazy over who the #1 was - Gomi or Penn

I'm not in the boat that Nick Diaz is some over-rated average fighter. But by the same token I can admit that I do think the guy gets hyped up a little too much given his track record when he starts fighting top opponents like GSP and others.

He still didn't win so does it matter?

That's my biggest gripe with both Diaz brothers. They've got talent but instead of realizing the "block punches with my face is MAYBE why I keep losing" strategy and changing it up to use their skills to win within the confines of how the sport is now they throw fits "that's not real fighting" and bitch and moan when they lose a decision when EVEN times I wanted to win I was like "they ain't GOING to win though cause they won't fight in a way that scores points".
 
Okay so Gomi is a good win @essie

He has beaten one good fighter in his entire career. Was never a top fighter
Now put that list alongside GSP’s.
