I'm biased, but everything Gilbert does, Gomi does better. Maybe Gilbert got better submission game cuz he's working under Ceser and working with Diazes and Jake and all, but I think it's not that big of a gap, IF there is one.

Gomi by tko/ko 2nd round. But, it's going to be a good fight nevertheless.

Gilbert's a great fighter with a great heart, but I just think Gomi's better, and bad match up for him. Gilber would have to take him down, but I don't see that happening.
that would be a sweet fucking fight, maybe this would put some fire into the drunk one's belly for a change

Gilbert is a very cool dude, and a very good athlete. About three years ago he took part in a seminar at Gracie JJ down in Stockton. He taught me some cool choke reversals, and how to pass out properly after having a choke applied. I would love to see him and Faber go at it at 155 lbs.
