Werdum has derailed the Travis Browne hype train. I knew that Browne didn't have the skills yet to become a contender and just had some lucky wins over Overeem and Warmaster. Overeem just ran out of gas after beating the s@%t out of Browne, and with Barnett, he just got a lucky no-call on some seriously illegal elbows.

 

Browne's striking is not world class, doesn't know how to jab, and throw up combinations, he's hard to take down but other than that I don't know what else he brings to the table.

 

That said Werdum has certainly improved his striking. Training with Crocop helped him out a lot, and now former chute boxe kickboxing coach Rafael Cordeiro has certainly brought his striking to another level.

 

I'm rooting for Werdum against Cain, but the main thing here is that Cain has cardio for days. He has the biggest gas tank of any HW I've seen, his workrate is phenomenal and he can outpace Werdum on the feet. Cain also has excellent wrestling which he can use to stop Werdum from getting him on the ground.

 

But being a BJJ fan, I'm with Werdum on this one, hopefully he does get Cain on the ground and use his superior jiu-jitsu to great advantage, Cain is rusty and might not have the right skills to beat Werdum on the ground.

I'm with Glover for UFC 172. glover is tough, has anvils for hands and has a great ground game. We've already seen that Jon Jones can get hurt, you just need to keep doing it to pull out the W, this is Glover's time.
