    I don't think Gonzaga ever did himself justice. I think he needed to get into better shape so he could fight harder. With his size, I want to see him adopt much more wrestling. With his power, I want to see him aggressively look to fight and grapple. Even if his grappling leads to him in poor position, he has his jits to fall back on.

    Can't remember his team but Greg Jacksons camp might help because he is mentally iffy and they do all that meditation **** which guys like Jones and GSP lap up.

    Did not know he fought in October.

    Oh, and the fights against a Brazilian ko artist in Brazil.

    Hope he wins but its easy for the UFC to let him go if he fails. UFC have nothing to lose.

    Gonzaga has the potential to be not a, but the top HW. But he isn't mentally strong enough for it to ever happen.

    He's like Vitor, but with a shaky chin.

    I was hoping he was going to be one of Fedor's opponents next year.

    He's an okay test for rising fighters. I would assume he's come back on less than he was on when he got released. Depends on game plan with him, whenever he actually tries to use his BJJ he looks dangerous, whenever he plods forward trying to box he looks like ****.

    He's a top 25 or so heavyweight, whatever that says about the division.

    A solid replacement for a fighter who just dropped out of the brazil card, he signed a 4 fight deal but if he get's drubbed again im sure he'll be shown the door.
