What did Napao in the last fight was his lousy cardio! He was winning that fight until the middle of round 2 and he just shut down! I think Gabe won't make that mistake again. Gabe wins by UD!

I got everything I got on Werdum. Dude is becoming crazy underrated just because he couldn't do any damage to Arlovski standing (which not many people can do).

Gabe's punches have more power, he has a good chance of knocking Werdum out. I wouldn't count on a submission from either one.
Gonzaga has a lot of power more so in his kicks than his punches. However his stand up isn't exactly very techinical and neither is Werdum's I think this fight is a coin flip standing since Werdum has faster punches and has shown pretty good flurry skills. I understand why people would call it a coin flip on the ground but I defiantly think Werdum has the much stronger ground game.

Werdum has the much stronger ground game, yes. But if it goes there, I would assume Werdum would be on his back. Do you agree? I think GG can avoid subs enough to GNP for a Decision win. It will definitely be the closest contested fight of the event.
I would say that chances are Werdum would end up on his back.
On his back I say this is a real close fight. I mean Nogueria spent a good amount of time in Werdum's guard doing almost zero damage and they went to the ground mostly after Nogueira had just stunned Werdum. Gonzaga is probably more powerful than Nogueira but is also slower than Nog. I could see Werdum throwing a bunch of subs and getting this SD since Diego got a judge to give him the Sanchez/Fitch fight and I think this will be much closer.
However Werdum did get Aleks E. down who is much bigger than Gonzaga. If Werdum somehow gets on top I think this is no contest on the ground. Werdum really out fought Nogueira when he was on top and he made Aleks E. look like an kid with that arm triangle.
