4. Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Mirko Filipovic
UFC 70
April 21, 2007 | Manchester, England
Gonzaga put Filipovic on his back and was doing significant damage with his ground-and-pound, but referee Herb Dean called for a restart with about 30 seconds left in the opening round. After the two heavyweights circled each other, “Cro Cop” feinted the left kick a few times, and when he did, he dropped his left hand. Gonzaga picked up on the mistake and struck like a cobra with a right kick upstairs. Filipovic looked like he had been sniped and fell so quickly that his right leg folded underneath him. It took quite a while for him to wake up and get back to his feet. The fans got the head kick they so eagerly coveted but not from the expected source.
