I want to fight – for myself, for the fans and for my gym. I want to show everyone that I’m working hard and moving quickly. I have to have another fight, or nothing will happen…. The fans should decide where I go. There is the possibility I will go to HERO’S. Shooto is a good organization, and I also have no reason not to fight in HERO’S. All organizations are fine with me. In the end, I want MMA to be as big as baseball.

Guess we won't be getting our dream matches of Penn/Gomi II and Gomi vs. Muscle Shark for obvious reasons.

Well, this news sucks. Although it's not really surprising.

Well while this sucks for the UFC K-1 is building a pretty good 155 divison. Marcelo Garcia is there along with Vitor "Sholin" Ribero and Gesias "JZ" Calvancanti who are all good along with Andre Dida Amade who i think is the next big thing at 155

I do want to watch Marcelo Garcia fight though, probably the best jits in the world.

Gomi is pissing me off. I remember before the Diaz fight he was saying how he wanted to fight GSP, Hughes, and Sherk. I honestly think he's scared now after getting beat by Diaz. Why would he all the sudden change his mind? He was willing to come to the US before the Diaz fight, and now he isn't? I really think he's scared.

Besides, I still wanna know something. He is still the PRIDE belt holder, so why would he give up a prestigious belt? And isn't he under contract with PRIDE still? So that means he's under contract with Zuffa? If he goes to another organization he will get his belt taken away from him. What kind of champion is that?
