| Cain Velasquez vs. Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga.
I'm a Napao fan...Think that's been pretty well documented here, hah. He's let me down, man. And I can't in good conscious pick him over Cain until he shows me something more than he did at the end of that second Werdum fight.
...Which isn't to say I'm not picking him, I'm just not picking him in good conscious, hah. I'd say he'd submitt Cain. The thriumphal turnaround in the career of Napao Gonzaga starts with Mr. Velasquez,  !
What do you guys think? *Someone please add the poll.

Gabe doesn't impress me.
Kick kick kick kick kick punch kick kick kick kick punch
Beating mirko was horrible imo because now all he wants to do is kick.
All you have to do is punch Gabe a few times an he quites
I will take Cain just because he seems smart an he will be ready for kick kick kick punch

Reading kick kick kick punch punch reminds me of like...The codes for fatalities on the oldschool Mortal Kombat games from the first Sega? Remember? A+A+A+B+B forward, hah.
But yea. I actually think his kicks ARE good - He had Werdum folding a couple of times. Until he gassed (I think his conditioning is pretty bad as well) and got pounded out like an exhausted panda...I was so sad, hahah.
Seriously. Werdum didn't knock him out as much as Gonzaga just...Stopped. Like an exhausted little panda cub.

From now on Gabes new nick name is Code Combo lol

wow what a great dream match and I mean that
tough to pick.. and should be a fight we should see cuz there isnt a better HW matchup that I can think of that would really show where the other fighter stands then this one...
I cant really say who would win.. Gabe has the better ground game, Cains the better wrestler.. both have a lot of power and different styles of striking.. I dunno.. ima go Gabe by sub for now just cuz Cain hasnt fought anyone near Gabes BJJ game yet and I am just clueless of Cains BJJ game.

Cain is an amazing up-and-coming fighter. I believe he has a hell lot more potential than Gonzaga and would walk right through him. Sorry.

Gonzaga is impressive but if he does tend to fold after getting hit. I'd pick GG out of experience but a loss by him wouldn't surprise me.
