UFC Fight Night 21: Florian Outclasses Gomi

At UFC Fight Night 21, Kenny Florian proved to be a nightmare opponent for Takanori Gomi. It would have been nice if the UFC had given Gomi a slightly easier fighter to debut against. Then again, that would have resulted in a PRIDE champion gaining credibility. I guess they did the right thing after all.
