BJ Penn vs. Takanori Gomi Signed for Rumble on the Rock 4 Blaisdell Arena, Honolulu, Hawaii October 10, 2003 By Chris Onzuka
We have just received word that the rumored match between former SHOOTO champion, Takanori Gomi and UFC lightweight contender BJ Penn has been signed, sealed and delivered. This match was being worked on since the last Rumble On The Rock event in August, which coincidentally was the same night that Gomi lost his title to Joachim Hansen. This match was put into flux because of the loss, but negociations continued because even with the recent loss, Gomi is still considered one of the best fighters at 155lbs. BJ Penn is on a mission to prove that he is the best fighter at 155lbs and he wants to solidify his slot with a win over Gomi. Penn’s last fight was a controversal draw with Caol Uno at UFC 41 and since then he has traveled around the country working on further improving his skills. The event promoters have been gaining experience with their first three shows in Hilo, Hawaii before taking ROTR to the next level. Their fourth event will be held at the Blaisdell Arena on Oahu and will be filled with an exciting undercard. The fight card looks to be pitting the best fighters from Hawaii (or fighting out of Hawaii) against the world. The rest of the card will be released soon! |
