Joachim would lose this title in his first defense to Shaolin Ribeiro.
After this defeat. He would go on to win his next seven. With wins over the likes of GZ Cavalcante along with two KO wins over Caol Uno and Mazakatzu Imanari.
Hansen would also pick up a win over Sergey Golyaev by RnC.
Who much like Hansen would go on to win an upset victory over Gomi by SD in Sengoku 2008
After a loss to Aoki he would pick up a battering win over Jason Ireland a 3 win in 1 night Victory Fighting Championship tournament winner and KOTC LW title challenger
After a UD loss to Eiji Mitsuoka he would win his next to including the opening round of the 2008 DREAM LW GP.
He would lose to Eddie Alvarez in the Quarterfinals but win his reserve bout over Canadian Kultar Gill.
Gomi wasn’t that good imo. He throw bombs and went 100 mph. If he didn’t blow you out of the water fast he gassed. He was exiting against cans but wilted against hood fighters. Did he ever win in the ufc? I thought he beat one guy who wasn’t very good.
Gomi is part of the transitional old guard. He was 15 years in to a brutal career by the time he got to the UFC. He had fights against the who’s who of the lighter weights and won against most of them but the very best at the time (BJ and Hellboy). “Wasn’t that good” is crazy.
