ufc krakow The fight that made me a fan of Gabriel Gonzaga was when he attempted to decapitate Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 70 in April 2007. A head kick from the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt caught Cro Cop off guard and he folded into a lump of soft flesh inside the Octagon. Today, the former Pride and K-1 champion will get his shot at payback against Gonzaga in the UFC Fight Night 64 main event in Krakow, Poland.
