Heavyweight veteran Gabriel Gonzaga didn’t impress in his last appearance inside the Octagon, and he plans on changing that in his return.
Initially slated to compete against Ruslan Magomedov at Sunday's UFC Fight Night 86 in Zagreb, Croatia, "Napao" will now take on Derrick Lewis, who replaces the injured Russian on the April 10 card. Coming off a lackluster win over Konstantin Erokhin in December, the Brazilian feels he’s not the one to blame.
"It wasn’t exciting because my opponent walked backwards all the time," Gonzaga told MMAFighting.
