    This fight is planned for UFC 96. Will be good to see Carwin in with a legit top 10 heavyweight especially after him having to fight a darts player in his last fight. Should be a good fight.

    Hmmm. I kind of surprised by this. I thought they'd keep these two on parallel tracks for a while because they're both in the group that have a decent shot at beating Lesnar. Now one of them will get knocked back a bunch.

    Not a great fight for either man's career, but a great fight for the fans. That should be a fun one!

    Whoa this will be interesting. These 2 guys are massive heavyweights and huge strikers. Id give Gonzaga the advantage as he`s more well rounded. He has better submission and ground skills and his striking is very good for a man of his size. Very tough match for both men considering the size of Carwin.

    woah, great fight
    i'm happy they made that one.
    Should be exciting.

    A feeling is telling me that Carwin will take this by decision

    Big step up in competition for Carwin. I love it.

    Now they should give cain velasquez a test as well...

    I also want to see Velasquez tested. He is fighting Denis Stojnic (a recent UFC signing) at UFN 17.

    I'm picking Gonzaga soley on experience and BJJ skills. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if Carwin won by KO.
