Gomi: I would give up beer for a title shot
Takanori Gomi: “…but I know there’s going to be fun out there waiting for me to fight, so I’m still fighting. If I get a title shot, I will quit drinking.”
Takanori Gomi, ‘The Fireball Kid’, was one of the most feared lightweights in the world and former PRIDE lightweight champion. Since debuting in the UFC in 2010, Gomi has a 4-4 record, but still hopes to make a run at the lightweight title and if he earns won, is willing to make a huge succession in his life:
“Probably my next fight will be the one in Japan in September. I’ll grab a glass of beer once and then get back to training camp. Every day I’m thinking about retirement, but I know there’s going to be fun out there waiting for me to fight, so I’m still fighting. If I get a title shot, I will quit drinking.”
