UFC 91: Gabriel Gonzaga knocks out Josh Hendricks
In another "Don't pour yourself a drink or you'll miss the fight" fight, Gabriel Gonzaga straight laid out Josh Hendrick in a heavyweight bout.
Needing just 1:01, Gonzaga (10-3) caught Hendricks with a knee to the midsection, then moved back, used his left hand to position Hendricks' head, then blasted him in the face with a powerful right punch.
Hendricks (18-5), winner of his 10 previous fights including nine in the first round, hit the ground quickly in his UFC debut. Gonzaga, for good measure, hit Hendricks once more before referee Steve Mazzagatti stepped in to stop the fight.
"I want a title shot and next time I’m going to get the belt," Gonzaga said. He'll have to fight either new champ Brock Lesnar or interim champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in order to put a belt around his waist that need loops to stay up.
Well, at least Hendricks is used to these types of quick fights. More importantly, I'm now 1-1 in my predictions.
