Revenge is sweet, and MMA legend Mirko Filipovic got a taste in UFC Fight Night 64’s main event when he defeated Gabriel Gonzaga by third-round TKO. Filipovic (31-11-2 MMA, 5-6 UFC) suffered one of the most memorable head kick knockouts in history against Gonzaga (16-10 MMA, 11-9 UFC) at UFC 70 in April 2007.
