Who Will Win...Gonzaga or Couture?

I published a post yesterday stating my opinion on who i thought would win the fight between Randy "The Natural" Couture, and Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga. I said that i felt that Couture had a lot more experience in the octagon (which he does) and that he would win the fight, however i may have.. underestimated Gonzage a little bit. Gabriel Gonzaga has a lot of weapons in his tool belt.c First off he has a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, also he was the Heavyweight BJJ Black Belt GP 2004 Champion, ADCC Trials Brazil Champion and ADCC 2005 second place, four-time BJJ national Champion / five-time Sao Paulo State Champion. He has a well packed resume and should not be taken lightly. Not only is he a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, but he has good stand up skills. He knocked out one of the most deadly strikers and kickboxers in the world and he got drop by a head kick from Gonzaga. He (Gonzaga) will do whatever it takes to win the fight. If Couture wants to stand up and strike (which he probably wont) then Gonzage will stand up and strike and do a good job at it. If Couture wants to take him down then he will do his best to submit him. He is a very well rounded fighter and it is really going to be an exciting fight. However rest assured that Couture will be in great shape, he is not going to look past Gonzaga and he will be prepared. I still think Couture will pull of the win, but it wil be by decision if he does. Please post your comments and concernes and for more information check out http://ufc.com.
