Can't say I really expected to win this one.

Gonzaga is a good fighter, no doubt, I might even say a top 5 heavyweight. But, as a number 4 or 5, there are 3 or 4 ahead of him. He has to get through either Carwin, Nog or Lesnar, and probably at least 2 fights before he can get a shot a the title. For him to beat 3 top heavyweights in a row and become champion? I just can't see it, but then again, stranger things have happened in MMA. Who wants to see a Mousasi fight in UFC?? me me me

Yeah, I gotta go with Da Mega Man on this one. Gonzaga's faced Carwin, Werdum, and Couture and lost. Could he beat Lesnar? Sure, he could. He almost beat Carwin (he had him hurt) and the Couture loss could likely be attributed to a broken nose by way of unintentional head butt. But the question posed is *will* he be the next champ? And I say no. I think Carwin has a decent chance of taking the strap from Lesnar. And then we'll see. Gonzaga taking out the last less-than-high-calibre-dude he fought doesn't really make him a solid challenger to the winner of Carwin / Lesnar, though I think Nepao is one of the most all-around skilled HW on the UFC roster right now with the size to contend with those behemoths. I think the UFC is grooming Gonzaga to be a stepping stone for Big Nog...who they need to make their money off of before he's done.

I gotta go with muh boy edubz on this one. It is a pretty bold statement but I can't see anyone else making a good point for anyone else to beat Brock. Nog is too old and not big enough.

Gabriel Gonzaga is a really good fighter

I realize this is extremely bold and probably ultimately foolish but I don't see anyone with the size, jiu-jitsu, and striking better than Napao.

napao? champion? seriously?... ...nah hello? TKO'd by an out of shape werdum? anyone? i think carwin will surprise everyone at ufc106, remember where you heard it first

Megatron 2 years, 7 months ago

I'm not sure that Carwin will beat Lesnar I really don't but he probably has as good a chance as any. But let me just say thing....Antonio Nogueira impressed the hell out of me the last fight. That dude has some serious heart! In 10 fights, I think Lesnar wins 7...but in a one 5 round fight...I take BIG NOG!!

gabe gonzaga vs big nog would be a hell of a fight... but i dont think we will ever see it for the ufc title. lesnar is getting better and better i dont see him getting stopped by either of these.
