The Japanese star Takanori Gomi was announced on the card for the third edition of Affliction, which takes place on August 1, in Anaheim, California. Mister Bushido will face the American Brett Cooper.
Gomi was wanted for a long time by the UFC organization, which saw in the fighter a great opportunity to reach the Japanese market, however, a bad phase experienced by the athlete, where he accumulated two consecutive defeats to insignificant opponents in Sengoku, prevented the agreement from being implemented. . In 2009, Takanori found victory again at Shooto Japan, when he knocked out Takashi Nakakura in May.
