6 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Nelson

2. Takanori Gomi vs. Myles Jury

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn5KhaQAoZc Weight Class: Lightweight Now this is a tough fight to call. The Fireball Kid, Takanori Gomi (35€“9 (1)), has struggled in the UFC, but is a legend in the world of MMA. Myles Jury (14-0) is an undefeated, up and coming prospect in the lightweight division. Gomi's the hometown favourite. Jury's train is rolling along nicely. Can the Fireball Kid derail it? Since joining the UFC in 2010, Gomi's career, as mentioned, has been spotty, but he has scored three performance bonuses, one of which was a Fight of the Night award in his last outing. He hits hard for his weight class, and has a submission game as well. Jury is coming off a win over Diego Sanchez, another tough, hard hitter. He should know what to expect from Gomi, but he's deep in enemy territory this time. He loses a decision to Gomi, who realistically knows this may be his last chance to go on a run in the UFC.
