Former Pride lightweight Champion, Takanori Gomi made his UFC debut last night, but his performance was far from the outstanding knockouts from the Japanese rings. Facing Kenny Florian, one of the most dangerous lightweights in the event, Gomi was dominated in striking and tapped in a third round real naked choke, which earned Florian the submission of the night bonus. In the co-main event, Roy Nelson defeated Stefan Struve in 39 seconds to earn the knockout of the night bonus.
