Japanese superstar, Takanori Gomi has revealed he is heading to the United States in an attempt to cut a deal with either the UFC or Strikeforce, aided by his friend Tito Ortiz, which could give the Las Vegas promotion an edge.

Speaking via his own blog site, Gomi said:

“I disembarked in Las Vegas on Friday 13 with two goals in mind. The priority is to solve my professional situation in America before my marriage. I hope the negotiations go on and I can have a starting point next year. My friend Tito Ortiz has been supporting me whereas he knows the scenes from this side of Pacific. I will talk to UFC officers and I hope a good agreement this time to show off my potential and get the belt that belongs to me. If I haven’t good conversations with Zuffa, Strikeforce is an option and I hope I’m not here only to tourism.”

If this was 05-06 ida went nuts, the fireball kid isnt the same monster that was number two to BJ Penn, although if shogun bounced back, im interested to see if he can

I'm of the opinion that Gomi is done for. Back in the day he was my favorite fighter but he's a shell of his former self.
