Following a disappointing loss at UFC on Versus 2 to Igor Pokrajac (22-7 MMA) James Irvin’s UFC contract seems to be on its way out the door. Irvin (14-7 MMA) was rocked early in the first round and taken down by Igor and on the takedown Igor’s shoulder connected harshly with Irvin’s chin. Stunned James hung in there but gave up his back resulting shortly in a rear naked choke. This made three straight losses in the UFC and an overall record or 3-4 in the ultimate show.

A Lot on the Line for Griffin and Gomi at UFC on Versus 2

July 30, 2010   Josh Davis   No comments

There is a lot on the line for both Tyson Griffin and Takonori Gomi at UFC Versus 2.  Both fighters are coming off losses and can’t afford a second straight defeat.

During his days in Pride, Gomi was widely regarded as the best 155 lbs fighter in the world, now however Gomi is just 2-3 in his last five fights and a loss to Griffin would put him at 0-2 in the UFC.  Gomi lost his UFC debut to Kenny Florian via rear naked choke at UFC Fight Night: Florian vs Gomi.  This is a must win for Gomi is he wants to not only stay relevant in the 155 lbs division but also to avoid possibly being cut by the UFC as well.
