You might think this will be a good underdog pick to place on "Napao" Gonzaga (7-1) because of the last UFC fight where a +900 Matt Serra beat Georges St. Pierre. You might think that a ground specialist like Gonzaga can neutralize Cro Cop stand up game. Well think again, Cro Cop has fought and beat some of the best heavyweight ground practitioner in the game like Josh Barnett (twice) and Hidehiko Yoshida. Cro Cop did lose to the best submission heavyweights in the world, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira but Gabriel Gonzaga is no Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

Gabriel Gonzaga is 7 and 1 but I can not recognize any name MMA fighter he has faced. His one lost came to Fabricio Werdum who is one of the best heavyweights in the world and he got knocked out in the first round and he does not have the strength and power Cro Cop does.

Bottom Line: Cro Cop has fought some of the best fighters in the world like Josh Barnett, Wanderlei Silva, Ikuhisa Minowa, Fedor Emelianenko, Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Aleksander Emelianenko, Ron Waterman, Igor Vovchanchyn, Heath Herring, Kazuyuki Fujita, and Kazushi Sakuraba. With a resume like Cro Cops' what does a person like Gabriel Gonzaga have to offer him that he has not already seen? If Cro Cop wins this fight he will fight Randy Couture for the UFC heavy weight championships. Look for Cro Cop to show the American fans who he really is.
