i love both these guys, but i would bet on Gomi for 2 reasons.

1. weight. Gomi cuts from like 170+, almost 180, to make the 160 limit. since he joined Pride, he bulked up like a motherfucker
2. chin. whats Kid gonna do? knock him out? stop him with ground and pound? he would have to hurt Gomi first, and Gomi has the best chin in LW. i'll say that firmly.

Kid is fast, aggressive, and strong. Gomi has all that, but is bigger and hits harder. Kid doesnt have the submission game to beat Gomi, and thats Gomi's only proven weakness. his wrestling and GnP is good, and his standup is one of the best in LW because of his power and chin

Good points, I was picking Gomi for some of those reasons. I think it'd be a hell of a fight though.

oh hell yeah. these two are the most aggressive standup fighters in the LW division, and even though Gomi would outweigh Kid by almost 25-30 lbs, when have you seen a boring fight from Kid?
or one from Gomi against someone not named Aurelio.
