Weight Class: Heavyweight Now this is an intriguing fight. Gabriel Gonzaga (168) once fought for the UFC heavyweight title, but floundered after that. He had gone on a two-fight win streak, but lost most recently to Stipe Miocic. Matt Mitrione (83) has had his ups and downs since competing on TUF 10. He's been knocked out by Roy Nelson and lost decisions to Cheick Kongo and Brendan Schaub, but he's currently on a two-fight win streak, and is looking better than he ever has. He is also one of the rare fighters who has only ever competed in the UFC. Look for Mitrione to win this one by TKO in the first two rounds. Gonzaga has been idle almost a year, and that could hurt him.
