Why is the UFC still pushing Gonzaga on us?

[bobby boucher]

After getting beat down by Randy and Werdum, why is the UFC trying to convince us that Gabe "Napao" Gonzaga is some type of up and coming young HW? Are they going to keep him under contract as a gatekeeper, or is he really on his way out if he loses to Carwin? Or am I missing something here?

He was handling Werdum until he gassed. With conditioning, he can be a force. I'll never forgive him for his fight with Jordan though.

He is good but seriously lacks in the cardio/heart department.

Didn't he have a shitty camp because his kid died right before that fight?

There was some excuse but I don't care. Pull out if you can't throw a punch.

What's the story here. Win via superman punch KO?

He's one ugly mean looking sumbitch, that's for sure. I actually hope the guy does well. I really like the Carwin/Gonzaga match up. It'll sort some things out as far as who's ready to go to the next level.

[PA-PA-PA-PIMPOMATIC]

If you were asking about the Jordan fight. It was a boring ass fight. Maybe the worst that I have seen. So boring that Franklin talked shit about it in his post fight interview after beheading Quarry.

I only remember the KO. That was like GG's UFC coming out party. Since he was mainly a BJJ guy I forgive him for starting slow in that one. And he basically retired Mirko from the cage. This will be Carwin's first real test in the UFC.

[super hot]

Because the UFC has no other HW's to push. They should just sign Lashley and let him fight Lesnar for the title.

[Polish Strong Man Can]

After the two worse rounds in UFC history. Worse than round 5 of Timmy vs. Monson.

[Nutstache]

I think ManBearPig is more than a gate keeper. I think he is legitimately in the mix for a title shot.

[Hektik]

i have that shit on dvd, unfortunately

And 3 or 4 minutes of the 3rd. When the crowd is chanting 'go home', you know it's bad.

[Krazypoison]

Maybe because he's one of the best HW of their division?

[Chucxone]

because he killed cro cop.

That was when Joe was like "So, uhhhhh, Wesley if you want to do this give me a call."

Why has he egged Snipes into getting into the cage again?

The whole Timmy/AA 3 was boring as shit.

I had a whole group of friends over hyping the UFC up and then that shit came on. 25 minutes of pure bullshit.

That whole card choked on a turd other than the Stevenson Yves bloodbath.

lol, seems like every time I get try to get some newbs interested in mma I end up over hyping some fight that turns out to be a dud. I got burned on timmy/aa 3 also. and happy birfday.

I have a friend from work that's never watched MMA coming over on Saturday to watch the PPV. Shittiest card of the year. Figures.

Thanks for the b-day acknowledgment.

[Wilma Fingerdo]

Timmay hasn't been worth watching since he went off roids

[super hot]

Gonzaga better beat that scrub Canwin

all it takes is one awesome fight to hook somebody and you never can tell which fight it will be.

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

The Gonzaga hype will be over when Carwin dumps him on his ass and beats the shit out of him.

[SexeCute]

You guys talk about Gonzaga being overhyped, yet you're picking a slow and old fighter who hasn't beaten one known fighter to beat him. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

[super hot]

Carwin is a can

[JSN]

i don't think he has what it takes to be champ, and i hope carwin handles him, but rell how many good hw's are there? he's quality. it's not half as bad as kongo. now that guy is a joke. gonzaga would step on a turd like that.

[Barack Lesnar]

He was handling Werdum until he gassed. With conditioning, he can be a force. I'll never forgive him for his fight with Jordan though.

i hate when ppl cite gassing as an excuse to why they lost

[PA-PA-PA-PIMPOMATIC]

He was fucking Werdum up with the leg kicks. He just wilted in the second.

sig bet?

gonzaga is quickly becoming bj penn

wahhhhhhhhh, he broke his nose against couture, wahhhhhhhhhhh

wahhhhhhh, he gassed against werdum, wahhhhhhhhhhhh

wahhhhhhhhhhh, carwin trains with greg jackson, he must've greased despite completely manhandling gonzaga, wahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Why you gotta bring BJ into this? I just said GG wilted, player. None of that other bullshit.

[Barack Lesnar]

don't care

[bobby boucher]

The winner of Carwin/Gonzaga should get Dos Santos.

[Barack Lesnar]

^^
troof

[vincent_vega]

Gonzaga by KO.

[bobby boucher]

TTT

Nope, I wasn't missing anything.

ATTN Napao:

See this? This is the gate to the land of title contention. Please tend it well.

[InternetHero]

Most of Gonzaga's fights have been exciting.

[Buckner1986]

And what was up with Goldberg calling Kongo a top HW? He said it like 3 times last night?

[Scorpipede]

because as far as the UFC HW division goes he actually is.

[PA-PA-PA-PIMPOMATIC]

And what was up with Goldberg calling Kongo a top HW? He said it like 3 times last night?

LOL Goldberg must have missed the Marrero fight and forgot that even Herring outwrestled him.

[HHJ]

not anymore

[HOODS]

this thread is the perfect example of why arguing mma is such a pointless endeavor.

[shadyasfok]

i barely even posted in it, hoods. who are you talking about

[HOODS]

read the thread, pretty much every single person who made a prediction or argued a point was completely wrong. Dont know why you think I was talking directly to you.

[shadyasfok]

The Gonzaga hype will be over when Carwin dumps him on his ass and beats the shit out of him.

this guy was right and i agreed with him on that fight

[scorchamatic]

I hate seeing Gonzaga get cut, but obviously his heart's not in it anymore. I had high hopes for him for the longest time though, he always put on an exciting fight and some sick bjj.

[shadyasfok]

i just saw an article that said he's done with MMA

[shadyasfok]

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2010/11/4/1793195/following-ufc-release-gabriel-gonzaga-likely-to-retire-from-mixed

[flashNsmash]

i love how schaub is acting like it's beneath him to fight big country again... big country still wrecks him imo

[shadyasfok]

lol seriously, he's calling out fucking cro cop who lost to the guy he just beat

[shadyasfok]

grade A piece of shit

http://mmaweekly.com/after-ufc-121-victory-brendan-schaub-ready-for-mir-or-cro-cop-not-nelson

[shadyasfok]

thats like if bader were to call out chuck liddell, retarded

[flashNsmash]

i don't think schaub could even beat stefan struve

[flashNsmash]

thats like if bader were to call out chuck liddell, retarded

'avenging a loss and potentially moving up in the rankings doesn't interest me, i'd rather take a guaranteed W against an old can, that's my best option at this point'

[shadyasfok]

lol, i like how schaub thinks cro cop is somehow higher ranked than nelson

[shadyasfok]

he could've at least called nog, that woulda been less embarrassing than calling out a guy who basically just sleepwalked for 15 minutes against frank mir

[flashNsmash]

not to mention the guy who couldn't finish a guy who sleepwalked for 15 minutes against him

[shadyasfok]

lol

[shadyasfok]

this was hilarious

http://i55.tinypic.com/2b2vr5.gif

[shadyasfok]

gonzaga could've won that fight if he wasn't such a moron

[SatNav]

fuck! GG had the choke didn't he.


he fucked up badly in that fight

[TONY BONES]

i guess neither of u gnubs have seen shamrock/severn 2

[zalo]

canzaga is the brazilian frank mir

there is room for only one frank mir in the ufc

[flashNsmash]

canzaga is the brazilian frank mir

there is room for only one frank mir in the ufc

i still think gonzaga beats mir

[shadyasfok]

i still think gonzaga beats mir

i agree. gonzaga has lost most of his fights by standing and banging like an idiot, but it's not like mir is some world class striker either

[shadyasfok]

and mir looked god awful trying to take cro cop down, he has no chance of taking gonzo down

[zalo]

i think mir and gonzaga are comparable, it just depends on who folds first

[flashNsmash]

i think mir and gonzaga are comparable, it just depends on who folds first

now that gonzaga's chin has been exposed the once-laughable prospect of a mir KO could actually become reality

[shadyasfok]

Lol holy shit

[shadyasfok]

The real joke is Cro crop who was the best striker in the division getting ko'ed by both those tomato cans

[flashNsmash]

seriously though

jeez mirko

[shadyasfok]

Goddammit mirko, dont go down shamrocks path

[flashNsmash]

oh, it'll happen... he'll be fighting on NYE in DREAM five years from now
