I hope Werdum wins just to stifle Dana White's mexican movement, not that I have anything against Mexico, I just think it would make for fun.

Seems way less credible now that Stipe gassed him out in one round and laid 500+ strikes on him.

It's way less credible that VearDOOM TKO'd a man with a chin that VERY few people have rocked in his long career, counting kickboxing, because he was dominated over the course of 5 rounds and his chin never wavered?

Okay....gif

or that he got absolutely clowned by JDS.

or he got subbed in a minute by Sean McCorkle

or he got subbed by Fedor who has never subbed any legit grappler besides maybe Ogawa

or that his last 5 wins are over guys who have no business being in the UFC

Werdum is legit though and see him actually beating a long layoff version of Cain. Can't say the same for Hunt.

Only a three fight card but I'll still go catch it at BWW. Alvarez vs Gil should be a bloodbath, holy shit I can't wait for that scrap. That's my main event.

The only fight worth watching is the main event. The UFC cards these days are a snooze fest. I wish the Japanese would get their shit together and bring back Pride FC.

What a terrible fight. Really don't know how these fighters make it into the UFC. They're just barely TItan FC level. Would love a double future endeavor.

Werdum is easily the best fighter Cain has faced, and facing him after such a long layoff we don't really know which Cain we are getting. No outcome will surprise me.

Kinda hard for them to do that when Uncle Dana and the Ferlita Bros own Pride.

They tried to bring it back and it was called DREAM. Its dead too now. UFC PPVs are being spread way too thin the last two or so years.

This is how I feel. I'm a huge Werdum fan but under normal circumstances I wouldn't pick him. This isn't normal, we've got The Franchise Cain Douglas sitting out for two years with injuries while holding the belt, it's hard to assume he's going to come back as great as he was right out of the gates. He's also never faced anybody who has even nearly the BJJ skill that Werdum does.

I love the dead silence when someone gets taken out in their home country.

I just texted that to my friend and he called me a nega-mexican. I LOL'd.

Well he is the winner of the first Latin America TUF... so there were high expectations for his first proper fight afterwards.

I completely forgot about that season. Now that I Wiki'd it I've completely forgotten about a lot of seasons.

How are they fake mexicans?

You mean the nega-mexicans comment my friend sent me?

He was calling me that because I'm mexican and I made a comment about a mexican losing in such a dominant fashion.

EDIT: I'm an idiot.
