This should be a good fight. Im not so sure about Carwin yet. He has looked good against lesser competition bug GG is for sure a step up. Gonzaga looks good when he is in control but when the fight starts going the other way he seems to mentally brake. I think GG should win this fight. His standup is good and has top notch BJ.

This will be a nice test for Carwin against a half decent opponent.

I'm starting to enjoy watching Gonzaga fight. I like to see fighters come out and see improvements in their game and thats what he has been doing. If he keeps training like he is, then he'll be a force to reckon with.

Looks like we know who's going to get the push from Carwin and Valasquez now. Cain should've got the bigger competition but the reason they're pushing Carwin is probably to build up an eventual matchup between the two behemoths, Lesnar and Carwin.

As for the matchup, people say GG doesn't like getting hit, well Carwin doesn't like it much either. Also, GG doesn't fold when he gets hit, he still keeps coming back. He has folded both times when he was pinned against the cage getting repeated shots, it's a big difference considering Carwin will be trying to outstrike him. Carwin has the power to KO Gonzaga but when Carwin gets hit, he just shoots for the double right away, a pure wrestler mentality. I heard Cawin's ground game is good but it's not going to be close to Gonzaga's. GG is top 5 in BJJ amongst the HW in the world. I give the edge to GG.

I'm cheering for GG all the way!
