Does UFC have Gomi now with the Pride purchase? Anyone heard of his next action?

Considering Pride has 0 events lined up, I dont think he has a wealth of options.

Is he a free agent or does Zuffa have his rights?

It says this on his Wikipedia===>

"As Of July 2007, the three-time defending PRIDE lightweight champion has not confirmed where he definitely plans on heading, although he has indicated that he would prefer to remain competing in Japan, possibly under K-1 HERO'S or Shooto. He stated that he currently does not have any plans to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship."

But it was found on Wikipedia...

Didn't Gomi fail some drug test after his bout with Diaz??

It's the other way around. Diaz tested positive for marijuana. The bout was declared a "no decision".

Gomi was killing him, until he gassed out. It was like his strength just went out of him all of a sudden.

That was a sweet gogoplata. I dont see how Gomi was killing him, aside from a few punches and 1 that dropped him, Nick was out boxing Gomi all the way. I bet Gomi signs with K-1...

I'd guess that Gomi is K-1 bound. They're probably the only ones in Japan who can afford him anyways. It'd be cool if he went back to Shooto for a fight or two though. Kawajiri rematch, possibly?
