Werdum is cool; wants unification bout

[London Calling]

Fabricio Werdum and business partner and friend and fellow black belt Lucas Pires organized their first Jiu-Jitsu Tournament together at the CSU Long Beach Pyramid, called the Samurai Pro, with 500 competitors signed up and over thirty black belts competing.

Werdum was pleased with the turnout and says he’s happy to have offered such a great family event for his own family and friends, and also to the Jiu-Jitsu community. “It’s a family tournament,” he says, “It’s just my family and friends who helped organize and run it. Lucas (Pires) is the man!”

Werdum’s next goal is to win the Overeem fight and then go on to beat the others in the tournament to win the Strikeforce heavy weight belt, but his biggest goal is the unification title. “Everyone told me it wasn’t possible,” he says, “But it’s what I’ve wanted. Everyone said that Strikeforce and UFC were two different shows so it wouldn’t happen, but now with the Strikeforce UFC deal, it’s possible. When I win the Strikeforce heavy weight belt, I’m going to ask Dana (White) if I can try for the unification belt.” With Werdum, anything is indeed possible.

I just don't like him.

Won't deny he has great BJJ but he has huge holes in his stand up and wrestling. Kinda bummed he beat Big Foot and overeem in the past.

His best moment was making Vera cry :-) after smashing him

Stu put it best, not June 2010 anymore.... time to put or shut up. Reem schools him in either a quick TKO/KO shutout, or a one sided schooling of a decision.

Stu has just never liked him.

Him vs Overeem wil look similar to this, but with a knee. Lights out Fabby

Stu also hates the Gracies.


Overeem is gonna win by first rounf knockout IMHO

Also that face irritates the shit out of me, I have never liked Werdum at all.
