Both guys need a win bad; Werdum has to redeem himself for his performance against Arlovski where Werdum pretty much did nothing and Gonzaga has to win to try to at least justify some of the hype that is or was surrounding him.

I thought mmafrenzy just reported that Dan H. was fighting in December. Also, I thought Even Tanner was having some “issues” that were sure to keep him out of the octagon for quite another while. He admitted he hadn’t trained in months. Kinda hard for him to jump right back into it, I would think, but we’ll see.

Just heard from a friend at a certain MMA Magazine, that two big fights are penciled in for UFC 80, they are…….. Brandon Vera Vs Andrei Arlovskie & Evan Tanner Vs Dan Henderson! Sweet.

Yeah I don’t know if he is OVERRATED but all he has really done in my eyes is flash KO a shadow of the former cro cop. There isn’t a guy in the UFC that is incapable of KOing someone so I’m not ready to jump aboard the GG bandwagon yet.

Cro Cop is not the fighter he was in Pride. He hasn’t been mentally tough (or physically for that matter) in his lsat two fights in the UFC. Hard to gauge GG on an opponent like that. We’ll see how he bounces back after the Randy fight.

I don’t know if he’s overrated.. he did dominate that whole round before that head kick. Fabricio is a good fighter as well i do agree this is a good matchup and more than likely will end in a submission.

I personally think that Gabriel Gonzaga is way overrated just because his LUCKY head kick to Mirco Cro Cop. And then he automatically got a title shot against Randy Couture. I believe that Fabricio is a very good matchup for Gabe though both extremely well on the ground and both some what ok with their standup. I see this fight ending in a summition or decision no knock out here. Oh and Randy Couture is the best thats why hes the champ!

No i’m not taking anything from him.. I personally just don’t like that style of fighting.. I have faced opponents that try to use that “dirty boxing” style.. It makes the fight boring and slow in my opinion.

Hopefully Gabe has worked on his “chicken fight” i mean “dirty boxing” defense.. Ha Ha.. I’m not calling Gabe the best but if Randy would have fought man up instead of hugging and poking, he would have been destroyed.
