Takanori Gomi Can’t Come To Terms With UFC
By Mike MacLeod • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: NewsA potential deal between Takanori Gomi and the UFC has fallen through, Five Ounces Of Pain is reporting.
FiveOuncesOfPain.com first became aware of the story when a source close to Frankie Edgar revealed that the lightweight contender had been offered and accepted a potential bout vs. Gomi. The fight fell through after the UFC was unable to secure a contract with PRIDE’s final reigning lightweight champion.
There is no word as to why a deal with Gomi was unable to be completed and whether there’s a chance that talks between both sides will resume in the future.
