The UFC brought Mirko Cro Cop over from Pride for one reason, and that was to be a top contender for the heavyweight title. Well, the hopes of having the newcomer match-up with current champ Randy Couture took a serious step back on Saturday night when Gabriel Gonzaga delivered a wicked right kick to that head that shockingly sent the UFC's latest investment to the mat for a nice long siesta. In addition to shocking the world, Gonzaga grabbed a title shot against Couture in the process. Now we'll see if Gonzaga can pull two rabbits out of his hat or if he had just the one trick up his sleeve.

What's even more impressive about Gonzaga's KO was that he used Cro Cop's favorite weapon against him. If you thought Gonzaga had a nice high-kick, check out Cro Cop's fierce feet of fury. His hands aren't too bad either. Another video of Cro Cop after the jump.
