UFC Quick Quote: Fabricio Werdum will dominate in 2012

Photo by Mario Gonzalez via Newsday.com

"I still have some fights under my Strikeforce contract and I don’t know yet if my fight in December will be for them or for UFC. What I can say is that I learned a lot after the Overeem fight and I saw some things I needed to fix. I had a lot of strength and brutal power training, and I’m feeling much stronger. I'm sure I’ll have a great victory and I’ll dominate in 2012."

Strikeforce heavyweight grappling stud Fabricio Werdum, who was bounced out of the promotion's grand prix tournament after stinking up the American Airlines Center against Alistair Overeem back on June 18 in Dallas, tells Sherdog.com he's back and better than ever and expects to "dominate" the competition in 2012. We've already seen him once inside the Octagon, will we see him again? And if he makes a second transition to the UFC, who do you pair him up with for his return? Fantasy matchmakers, let's hear your best guess.

If Werdum trains hard on striking

he’d be a force. You do NOT want to go to the ground with that man

Well, Vinny Magalhes or however doesn’t have problems with him on the ground

Magalhes is also a demon on the ground

That’s like saying since Jacare lost to Roger, he has no jiu jitsu. Or in striking terms, since Hendo got caught by silva, you should definitely strike with him.

Vinny can't hold Werdum's meat piece when it comes to MMA

Roger Mayweather is the best corner man in combat sports! "Keep backing that bitch up. When we get down the stretch we'll really tap that ass!" Haha words of inspiration right there...

Diaz was on some next shit against Gomi...that was nice

Dude, you suck

You beat a can crusher but when faced with real competition you wilted.

He beat Bigfoot and Kyle before Fedor theyre not cans..

He had a horrible gameplan and I still think he hurt his knee during the fight against The Reem

A Chin without a Beard deserves NO honour.

and he arguably won that fight

he out landed Reem by a lot, and if he didnt look so tired while standing up after guard pull attempts he might have won

I wouldn't care if I never saw Werdum fight again.

Overated because of his win over Fedor, which as we now see, doesn’t mean much. Watching him flop around on the mat terrified to stand with Overeem was embarrassing.

Well I guess if anyone is an expert in 'Gay' it would be you.

Still not sure why it bothers you so much.
 
And honestly, I really don’t care.

a legend in his own mind

a large man that would rather pull guard than fight on the feet…..that’s just gay.

by sudnvictory on Sep 26, 2011 3:28 PM EDT reply actions  

I know he has skills, and I know his record his pretty good...

BUT

I can’t stand this guy. I can usually get behind anyone who seems genuine and honest, but something is “off” about this guy.

Werdum is okay

Get him in the UFC. Travis Browne needs an opponent

Mir vs Werdum

Or Werdum vs Brock after Uberone rapes him.

That match with Overeem was litteral lay'n'pray.

I don’t ever want to see this guy fight again, even though I know how good he can be.
