"I hope I can fight in June in Brazil. I get there on Monday to be part of TUF (Wanderlei Silva Team), but I won’t stop training, even because the whole team will be together there. God bless me, UFC will give me the chance to bring this joy to people in Brazil. Anybody, I’m prepared to fight anybody. I’ve never picked out opponents my entire life. If it’s Frank Mir, excellent. If it’s not, it’s okay. I just wanna show I’m in the top 10 of the division."
Fabricio's world! Party time! Excellent! Fresh off a UFC 143 victory over the iron-chinned Roy Nelson back on Feb. 4 in Las Vegas, the new-and-improved Fabricio Werdum tells Tatame.com he hopes to continue his success in the promotion's heavyweight division while simultaneously proving he belongs among the top 10 in his weight class. Would a victory over former champion Frank Mir, who broke Brazil's heart (and Big Nog's arm) at UFC 140 back in December, be the means to that end? Or better yet, anyone out there in MMA land opposed to that potential match-up? And who wins the battle of jits and wits if they do eventually hook 'em up?

Yes please let frank go in there and tear a limb off the cocky smirking cause he's out striking fat boy Nelson faggot
Frank Mir regardless of how much you jokers hate him is a whole tier higher than Werdum .

Decent match up. Mir looks better on the ground but Werdum has the better game plans. I don't know who to pick.

Is Mir really better on the ground? He seems physically stronger
But the technical edge the way I see it goes to Werdum. Plus he really impressed me with his stand up, I know he had the reach advantage, but seeing him mix it up that much was cool.
I have more respect for Fabricio after that fight. He’s one of the few Brazilian fighters I don’t really like.
I'm 20 years in and I still win.
This is not a BJJ tournament
Mir uses more tactics than JJ on the ground and would use his size well vs Werdum. Personally I think this is a great matchup and give Mir the edge
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
you slut!!!!
I’m almost complete with my transformation…once they attach that donkey schlong on me, I will be able to satisfy myself like danago does all day long and change my name to Buck Angel II
I lost to Cruz Jackson. He’s the best. I padded his record and just a can. I talk shit to try and get replies when In reality I still play the original Halo on original XBOX like a religiously. I’m so totally awesome and straight and I act gay on a blog only because I’m the second loneliest mother fucker on Mania. First goes to Stallion. I want Shivan to lose to Cruz and Diaz to show how overrated he is. My favorite fighter is Josh Burkman. Thank You.

I played 8=Danago in words with friends and he quit just like shogun.
yes yes yes yes yes makes perfect sense
No.1 contender fight, may aswell only top 10 heavyweights coming off wins right??
My man Werdum gets it and avenges one of his losses AROOO

Good match up.
By why does Mir fight so little and waits even longer to get matched up, I believe he should have been matched up with Cain by now.
Now, count up your crimes!
Fabricio looked great the other day.
I never thought i’d see the day he would look so fluent with his striking. Good for him.
Good fight
Mir would be the favorite, and he would take the decision.

OJ, what's up with ur gay ass sig???
Did you lose a bet? If not than what’s up? And not only do you put who it’s from (like I’m sure most knew anyway) you really have to put " Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3??? LOL Do you really feel that Mania is a place where people would appreciate that? You know I’m coming at you in fun, don’t take it the wrong way. I was just surprised by it, a little.
Staff shouldn't be aloud to ban members that have been around longer than they have! Especially just because they were butt hurt! Long live Kevin!!!
mir vs cain = awesome … carwin vs kong + awesome .. you my friend are winning
Hi everyone! My name is nightmare and here are 3 things you should know about me!
1. I’m Goldmouth’s bitch and I should learn to stay in my place.
2. I know jack shit about mma.
3. I LOVE THE COCK!
Hope you guys feel like you know me a little better now. See Ya

Werdum is not on Mir's level
Mir just defeated two top 10 HWs and Mirko since losing the UFC Interim HW title fight to Carwin… Werdum lost to Alistair in one of the worst fights in main event history only a short time prior to begging for his UFC job back. Yes, Werdum’s striking looked superb against Roy and completely surprised me, but he hasn’t earned a fight with Mir.
D-MoB is right… Werdum deserves a mid-tier UFC HW with better striking then Roy’s.
Five top favorite fighters:
1. Lyoto Machida
2. Thiago Silva
3. Michael Bisping
4. Chan Sung Jun
5. Frank Mir
6. You don't have the balls to post your fav fighters
Naw. Claiming CC on your record is nothing impressive nowadays. Werdum losing a stinker to Overeem carries more weight. Its about quality of opposition.

i didnt think werdum had it in him to destroy big country .. but i think dude deserves to be 2 fights away from a title shot ..

Credibility.
CC was on a two fight win streak when he lost to Mir. Granted, his win against Barry was an odd one.
Werdum defeated Fedor. As far as his MMA accomplishments, that’s the most impressive thing about Werdum… being underestimated by an undersized HW. Obviously his BJJ world championships speak volumes, but if it turns a fight against a striker into the frustrating cardio-absent mess it was in SF, he can keep it.
As for credibility, ask the NSAC about Overeem’s and how a mid-tier LHW suddenly finds success in the shallowest talent pool by bulking up to a size where he’s had to cut weight to make 265.

on another note!
I heard ufc is putting velasquez vs bigfoot? Can anyone confirm this?
by Padriza on Feb 6, 2012 7:32 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Now that would explain why the buzz died down for Velasquez vs Mir.
Where did you hear that?
MMA is like a puzzle, it's just a matter of finding a solution to each situation.

i dont think ufc would want to risk cain losing 2 fights in a row .. i think they serve up a can

Fabricio looked the best I ever seen him & mirs been on a tear lately. Book it!!
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Werdum was awesome
It was a complete surprise to me. I thought that Roy would just pound him out like Struve or Schaub… but his Muay Thai looked tight. That knee was sick. I figured that this fight would stay standing, but had no idea that Werdum would even last three rounds, nevermind be striking for the duration (until he took that clobbering big country haymaker in the third).

I think Mir takes this.
Roy should be a middleweight and Fedor was undersized too. Problem is Mir has horrible cardio, not sure about Werdum’s.
it's not great either
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
i wanna see this so damn bad. please joe please
bones jones will be the champ for a VERY long time
damn that was fun watching tito choke out bader
if it was still there after brock .. then it will still be there after werdum ..

Makes sense.
I hadn’t thought about it before but I bet every Brazilian in the HW division has a target on Franks back for what he did to Nog.
Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses off my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

I see Werdum as a very dangerous guy
I mean he was able to go 3 rounds with Reem, and strike fairly well with him, and the whooping he put on Nelson was JDS style….I see this guy making a big splash in the UFC HW div. if he keeps working on his striking and staying focused.
werdum = bisping … nice fighter not elite .. just my take .. dude is probably number 8 at hw .. but i have been wrong before ..
