I'll be rooting for Gonzaga and I hope he wins. I think he will too, better stand-up and it's pretty even on the ground.

I agree, but I don't care how tough you are to finish, if one of those big RHK's connects, you're going out. |

It's going to be hard to hit that, when Werdum's in the buttscoot position. |

I would give the advantage to Gonzaga on the ground if he is on top, though. I don't see Werdum really trying to pull guard or force Gonzaga into his guard.. idk though. That is what you are referring to by the buttscoot position, right? |

Werdum has a really, really good guard. I'd actually give the ground advantage to him, though Gonzaga could use his size to just pound out a decision.
What I'm referring to: Gonzaga will want to stand, and as soon as he gets hit, Werdum will go into the buttscoot position. I don't know, I like Werdum. I like Gonzaga too, but I've liked Werdum a lot longer. Who knows, this is a seriously close fight.

True, Werdum is great off his back, but Gonzaga is also a black belt Mundials champ, which is a very impressive accomplishment.

Werdum does have a good guard, but last time they fought.. Gabe passed it with relative ease(in round 1). Although, I think Werdum was constantly putting himself at risk by throwing up so many sub attempts and having a wide-open guard... Gabe was (for the most part) able to capitalize on that (in the first round). And when I watched that fight and compare it Gabe and Fabricio's most recent performances (Couture/CroCop/Marrero & Arlovski/Emelianko) I have to give the edge to Napao (I have no idea how to make the squiggly line over the "a" in "Napao").
Gabe's striking has drastically improved as has his confidence in his punches and kicks. In the fight with Werdum, Gabe seemed uncomfortable on his feet and kept telegraphing the shots. He also gassed in the third and resigned to eating Werdum's punches before they called the tko. Werdum (on the other hand), despite working with CroCop for his striking... seems less confident in it, was less willing to pull the trigger against AA in their fight (even though AA was criticized for it, neither one of them really wanted to attack). I think with the improved striking Gabe should take this and avenge the loss.

I donr know who to pick I want to see them both win lol. I also think that Daddy is somewhat underrated going into this fight.
Even though BJ is like an anaconda on the ground, Joe has some sick JJ as well
