It'd be a tough one to call for sure. Brock should have no problem taking Gonzaga down, but Gabe's got a black-belt. Still, Gonzaga's heart is shown to give out. I'll go with Lesnar.

Gonzaga COULD get bullied, and would get hit, alot and When gonzaga does get hit or abused he doest react well.
Brock has what appears to be less then stellar ground work and his lack of experiance would be a huge factor.

who takes it?
This is a bad matchup for Lesnar. Gonzaga has BJJ as good as Mir's, and everything else better than Mir. Herring, then another win, then Gonzaga would really be more appropriate.

Gonzaga has great pure BJJ, but his MMA- BJJ is not on Mir's level.

Pepole seem to forget quickly that Brock dismissed 4 armbar attempts from Mir like he was swatting flies. Mir did a beautiful job setting up that kneebar though, and Brock got caught.

Yeah, his grappling skills need work, but he's not as horrible on the ground as some of you make him out to be.

Lesnar by TKO.
