Everyone was shocked and after that win, Gomi was no longer considered to be the greatest lightweight and dropped from the Top 10 rankings.
Golyaev swarmed on the dizzied Japanese fighter but was unable to finish him before Gomi recovered to finish out the round. Behind on the cards, Gomi aggressively pursued Golyaev in the third, swinging wide and missing. As such, two judges saw fit to award the bout to Golyaev, with only one giving the nod to Gomi.
Golyaev, a member of the perennial Red Devil Team, earned his seat at the big show.
“A lot of people were saying that I was not as good a fighter as Gomi before the fight, so I’m very happy that I was able to exceed everyone’s expectations,” said Golyaev.

Mixed martial arts career
Sergey Golyaev pulled the upset win against the No.1 lightweight Takanori Gomi in World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku 6 back in November 2008.Everyone was shocked and after that win, Gomi was no longer considered to be the greatest lightweight and dropped from the Top 10 rankings.
Upset Fight with Takanori Gomi
Takanori Gomi stock tumbles yet again with a decision loss to Sergey Golyaev in what was supposed to be a showcase bout for “the Fireball Kid.” As Gomi himself predicted, he had difficulty negotiating Sergey Golyaev's length, unable to get close enough to score strikes of his own. Golyaev’s speed aided him in racking up points, along with a second-round left hook counter that crumpled Gomi in an awkward heap and appeared to cause damage to his right knee.Golyaev swarmed on the dizzied Japanese fighter but was unable to finish him before Gomi recovered to finish out the round. Behind on the cards, Gomi aggressively pursued Golyaev in the third, swinging wide and missing. As such, two judges saw fit to award the bout to Golyaev, with only one giving the nod to Gomi.
Golyaev, a member of the perennial Red Devil Team, earned his seat at the big show.
“A lot of people were saying that I was not as good a fighter as Gomi before the fight, so I’m very happy that I was able to exceed everyone’s expectations,” said Golyaev.
