Takanori Gomi coming to the United States?

Photo

About two weeks ago the internet was abuzz with rumors that top Japanese lightweight, Takanori Gomi, would be fighting at Affliction Trilogy. Sadly this rumor turned out to be false. However in a recent interview with MMA Mania Gomi reaffirmed his desire to come and fight in the United States, possibly for the UFC. 

Derek Bolender: Has the UFC ever been in contact with you about potentially joining its organization going forward? If so, how did those discussions go?

Takanori Gomi: We do have their offer and we are in the middle of discussion.

Derek Bolender: What is the motivation for you wanting to come to the United States and fight at this stage in your career?

Takanori Gomi: My motivation is to innovate myself.

The UFC has been loading up on Japanese talent for a while now so perhaps we will see "The Fireball Kid" take on Spencer Fisher, Cole Miller or Roger Huerta.  

WKR also talked about the possibility of Takanori Gomi coming to the UFC in the latest Cage Cast
