It turns out that gomi might be getting his chance to fight some of the welterweights..
Sakikabara:
"Our first fight of the New Year will be PRIDE 31 on February 26th at Saitama Super Arena. Although we haven’t finalized precise dates yet, we are thinking of starting off on May 5th at the Osaka Dome and having a Heavyweight Grand Prix or Open-Weight Grand Prix in July and September. If it will be open-weight, we will include lightweight and welterweights. The February show will primarily be single matches and be an event to determine who will go to the Grand Prix. I would like to put together some fights with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, the heavyweights that fought in this event and fighters from the middleweight division, such as Mauricio “Shogun?Rua and Quinton “Rampage?
Jackson."
2open weight GP's would be sick.. 1 consisting of Hw's and Mw's, the second consisting of lightweights and welterweights..
This is gonna be a great year in MMA...
Sounds like their settin up a shogun/jackson2 in feb as well, maybe rodrigo is gettin another title shot now that mirko lost to hunt..
