Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga Fight Info
One of the most dangerous heavyweights on the planet, with the ability to end a fight
via submission or with a devastating knockout, Rio De Janeiro native Gabriel “Napao”
Gonzaga (8-2) captured the imagination of UFC fans in April when he knocked out the
feared striker Mirko Cro Cop with a single head kick at UFC 70. And though Gonzaga fell
short in his subsequent shot at Randy Couture’s heavyweight crown in August, the 28-year
old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt is eager to get back in line for a title shot,
something that will be made easier with a win over the only other man to beat him,
Fabricio Werdum.
Fabricio Werdum Fight Info
A highly-regarded veteran who made his name in the PRIDE organization, Porto Alegre,
Brazil’s Fabricio Werdum (9-3-1) lost a hard-fought decision to former heavyweight champion
Andrei Arlovski in his UFC debut in April, but he plans on evening his record on January
19 by repeating his 2003 TKO win over Gabriel Gonzaga. To do that, the highly decorated
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt will have to use the tools that led him to PRIDE wins over
Alistair Overeem and Aleksander Emelianenko and which have led many to dub him the best
kept secret in the heavyweight division.
The live pay-per-view broadcast will begin at 3pm ET/ 20:00 GMT. More than likely, much like UFC 72,
a PPV buy will get you a repeat broadcast at the usual 10pm ET/ 7pm PT time as well. UFC.com recently
