November 2008

Japanese fighter Takanori Gomi might not be the top lightweight in the world any more, but that doesn’t mean he’s given up his all-out style of fighting. Known for his flurries of punches and kicks, the ‘Fireball Kid’ is a huge star in his homeland. This fight with Korean Seung Hwan Bang lasted 15 minutes and was almost entirely played out on the feet, which Gomi dominated en route to a comfortable decision victory.
