This was a great fight. Gomi looked done, and looked like he was just a shell of his former championship self. He had about 15% health left, with Lima sitting at about 75% health, when Gomi just opened the fuck up, and did some heavy damage, evening up the fight before the end of the 2nd round. From there, he started the third with a bang, and never looked back, getting a wonderful comeback from behind win over a very game opponent. Great stuff. Unlike baseball (compared to hockey). Especially in terms of what is a team sport and what is not a team sport. Just sayin'.

This was a great fight. Gomi looked done, and looked like he was just a shell of his former championship self. He had about 15% health left, with Lima sitting at about 75% health, when Gomi just opened the fuck up, and did some heavy damage, evening up the fight before the end of the 2nd round. From there, he started the third with a bang, and never looked back, getting a wonderful comeback from behind win over a very game opponent. Great stuff. Unlike baseball (compared to hockey). Especially in terms of what is a team sport and what is not a team sport. Just sayin'.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
