@ stickgrappler you watch the werdum browne fight, that was beautiful to watch the old dude tool the young arrogant browne. His gas tank is probably going to cost him in the cain fight but i give him a great chance in the first three rounds

Browne was dog tired after the first round ;D
Browne is a beast but gassed hard and paid the price. Werdum's standup has come a long way.
browne did gas big time but werdum was getting the better of it with both fresh as well, only time when werdum was in any sort of remote trouble was when he tried for the td and browne started with the elbows but werdum realized right away to get out of that position. Werdum on his best night can beat anyone imo but also lose to some that he shouldnt lose...
Not many people were expecting Werdum to dominate the stand up like he did. It turned out to be a really good fight! Browne was constantly looking for that one punch KO and it didn't work out for him. Totally gassed came back a bit in the later rounds but Werdum was in his element landing at will! Much better fight than I expected.
As far as Werdum vs Cain goes I expect Cain to stand with him and avoid the ground game much like he did with big Nog until he got the KO. I think he can hang with Werdum on the ground but why bother risking it when he has the better striking (in my opinion.)
Werdum poses a huge risk for Cain because he has great standup and out of world BJJ.
Cain might be well served to do what he did against JDS and just brutalize Werdum clinched against the cage.
Let's also not forget Werdum looked good in the later rounds against a gassed Browne but that won't be the case against Cain. He will still be giving it 110% in rounds 4/5 will Werdum be able to handle that? Will his gas tank last in that sort of fast paced fight? Guess we will have to wait and see.
Excited to see Cain back in action!
Werdum has displayed some good clinch knees , some in this fight, especially against roy thoQuote:

Hell yes, why wouldn't he if he can? Thing is, I wouldn't want to see another beating like that.Quote:
