There’s modesty that borders pussy-ville, and then there is the type of modesty that makes grown men soil their underwear. UFC prize-fighter Gabriel Gonzaga exudes the latter and the Brazilian hasn’t even won a title yet. Gonzaga is scheduled to take on reigning heavyweight flesh-eating cannibal Randy Couture and has predicted, mildly, that he’ll KO the champ. In an interview the Brazilian behemoth stated:

Randy Couture is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete. When Randy won, we stood and applauded him like everyone else. Just to have the opportunity to compete against him is a tremendous honor. (But) you can’t treat this any differently than any other fight. Once the match starts he is just another opponent. He has what I want.

We figure this is something like when a pitbull pretends to be playing with you, only to suddenly pounce on your arm, rip the flesh to the bone, all while wagging his tail. Just see for yourself in this clip of Gonzaga taking out Mirko “Cro Cop’ Filipovic after the jump:
