Though all the people jumping on Gonzaga's nuts are gonna be surprised when Randy beats him, if he does. He's the most 'promising' rookie since Brandon Vera, or Shogun now apparently.
I still think Cro Cop just didn't take him or the UFC seriously. He will now, watch for him to KO his next opponent in a devastating fashion.

I was glad he got knocked out like he did. It has been well reported that Cro Cop doesn't really care too much for the UFC and how it "hypes fights" for a lack of a better term. And on his first fight he came out to Pride's theme music, which I believe was a slap in the face of the UFC. You also have to remember that until his knockout defeat to Gonzaga he refused to train in a cage. He trained in a ring for Gonzaga and he found out that the cage is much different. I still think he is a devestating striker and will bounce back strong from his defeat, but I still don't like the guy.
As for Gonzaga....From what I have seen of him, and of what I have read, he will be a very tough match-up for Couture. Gonzaga appears to be much stronger, and has a very, very good ground game. Apparently he has a decent striking game as well as seen with Cro Cop. That being said, I don't think he is quite ready for a title shot, and I think that Couture will defend sucessfully.
Now to the subject at hand....I think Chuck has greatly improved since the first Rampage fight. I like both fighters and am just hoping for a great fight, but I believe Chuck will win in the 4th round.
