Obviously you haven't been a MMA fan for very long. Although an unknown, Gonzaga has crazy BJJ skills. What surprised everyone was his striking skills. Most people figured his best chance would be a submission against Cro-Cop. He's legit, and it won't surprise me at all if he beats Randy Couture to win the UFC HW title. Couture himself said after the fight he'd rather fight Cro-Cop than Gonzaga...because he fights better against strikers.
