Gabriel Gonzaga vs Chris Tuchscherer

Gonzaga is the favourite, but Tuchscherer has a good chance of stopping him. Gonzaga has shown he can dish it out but not take it, and Chris has not yet been stopped in addition to most of his own stoppages resulting from strikes.

I think it's very plausible, he's had his problems with strong wrestlers or at least solid. I still feel inclined to choose Gonzaga with a submission victory.

Gonzaga by first rd KO or sub

Tuchscherer is a training partner of Lesner so he has that going for him.

Chris T hasn't been tested yet so there's no telling. Gonzaga can most likely handle him easily from what I've seen. His best bet may be to keep it close on the fence putting his weight on Gonzaga until he gasses.

don't know much about Tuchsherer, but I'll say Gonzaga takes in the first.

GG is established, i dunno if he will ever be top 10 again but hes gonna be top 15 for awhile. That said if Tuscherer can avoid the sub he should win. big night for the UFC hw division, Tuscherer, Russow and Dufee making their debuts.

I like your thinking and agree that it is a big night for the HW's. I think Chris T will handle GG a lot easier that people think.
