Would be good to see him in either the UFC or Strikeforce, especially if he is in the right frame of mind. There are a lot of good training camps in the US, which should help him if he is serious. At the surfer bit, I hope he is joking. http://mmafrenzy.com/11562/takanori...plans-to-fight-stateside-and-become-a-surfer/
Id love to see Gomi going to ATT or Jacksons Camp or something man that would be great. I think Gomis always had some wholes in his submission defense game.

Gomi took a sabbatical some time back. Even when he fought Diaz it was then i realised he truly lost interest. He's been doing this for a while now and his heart simple doesnt seem to be in it. He put on a shed load of weight during his layoff and just looks really average now. But im pretty sure he means what he says. Id be surprised if we even saw him in the US. I think he's done personally.
Well he looked alright last time out stopping Takashi Nakakura whos a quality fighter. I wouldnt right Gomi off just yet I for one hope he regains that scary form he had for years.
Looks like he has offers from the UFC and Strikeforce. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/12/23/1217364/will-takanori-gomi-rejuvenate-his
