Gabriel Gonzaga, a UFC veteran with more than 20 bouts in the Octagon under his belt, will spring back from a two-year retirement to take Fedor Emelianenko’s younger brother, Aleksander. It will happen at the next installment of Russian Cagefighting Championship, on May 5, as Combate reported.
With only one win in his last five UFC bouts, Gabriel Gonzaga (17-11) bested Konstantin Erokhin via unanimous decision in December 2015. However, the heavyweight was defeated by Stipe Miocic, Mirko Cro Cop, Matt Mitrione and, most recently, Derrick Lewis in April 2016.
