Lesnar-Mir Quick Quotes
UFC 100 is approaching, and Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir are headlining. The two heavyweight champions -- one holding an interim title and the other punctuating a ?direct? lineage that long ago went crooked as a question mark (which is which, Lesnar or Mir, interim or direct, soon won?t matter anymore, thankfully) -- had a conference call chat Wednesday and said the following:

Detached Retina Will Likely Lead to Nakakura Vacating Title
Shooto 154-pound world champion Takashi Nakakura said that he would return his title if he lost to Takanori Gomi on May 10. Now, Nakakura may not have a choice in the matter.

The 32-year-old Osakan was not initially diagnosed with a detached retina when he was medically checked following the Gomi bout.

Gomi Wrestles with Offers
It?s nice to be in demand: According to Japanese blog Nightmare of Battle, Sengoku athlete Takanori Gomi is being courted by several major stateside promotions for a summer or fall engagement.
The hold-up is -- what else -- money. Gomi is apparently balking at the discounted rate being offered by promotions mindful that he?s not much of a draw in the U.S. at this point. I wouldn?t hold my breath for resolution, either: Several Japanese athletes have flirted with overseas competition in the past, only to decide they?re better off financially staying put.
