Quote:
A heavyweight bout is expected to take place at the upcoming UFC card headed to Brazil as native son Gabriel Gonzaga faces Ben Rothwell in January.

Sources close to the fight confirmed to MMAWeekly.com that verbal agreements are in place for the bout slated to land in Brazil. Tatame.com first reported the bout.

The upcoming card in Brazil is set to take place on Jan 19, although the show is expected to be a nationally televised card and not a pay-per-view as first reported.

FUCK YES!!!
That's a great match up that I never thought about. Should be a really good fight.
Both pretty equal on the feet and both have very different approaches to the ground game.

Agreed. I don't really know how to call this one. I'm going to go with Rothwell by TKO. It should be a decent fight no matter which way it goes

Gonzaga is the guy with the biggest talent and also the smallest heart I had ever seen

WOW, good matchup.

Big fan of Napao but Rothwell has really seemed to transform his physique, leading to a more well-developed HW.

Should be a great fight, nudge goes to Napao if he gets this to the ground and fights with his brain.

They should do betting odds on who gets injured first

Gonzaga is the more skilled fighter but if Rothwell can drag him deep his break his will. I am going with Gonzaga by sub in the 2nd.

Would love to see GG take this, but I don't think he has the hunger of Rothwell. Gabe falls into the Arlovski file of fighters that shoulda been something big. As mentioned, this is a perfect match-up.
