\nportion of the
\nUFC<\/a>‘s audience last Saturday.<\/p>\n
\nWerdum<\/a> was rooting for former foe Junior dos
\nSantos<\/a> against Robelis
\nDespaigne<\/a> at
\nMost Valuable Promotions “Rousey vs. Carano,\u201d<\/a> but he believed
\nthe Cuban striker deserved to be favored. Despaigne defeated dos
\nSantos via first-round KO on Saturday\u2019s main card.<\/p>\n
\nbecame friends. When I saw the Cuban’s fights in Karate Combat, I
\ncommented in the WhatsApp group where Rafael
\nCordeiro<\/a>, Lyoto and Wanderlei are. All the support is for daddy
\n\u2018Cigano,\u2019 but I don’t think it’s going to happen,\u201d said Werdum, who
\nafter having his expectation confirmed made a point of calling his
\nfriend at the end of the fight.<\/p>\n
\nhe took it in stride and didn’t make excuses.”<\/p>\n
\nwhich revealed that dos Santos earned $80,000 for his fight.<\/p>\n
\nmake any sense to me was \u2018Cigano\u2019s.’ I think they got a zero
\nwrong,\u201d Werdum said. \u201cTwo years ago he fought me for $800,000 or $1
\nmillion at Gamebred Fighting Championship. It doesn’t make sense
\nfor a former UFC heavyweight champion to fight for $80,000. There’s
\ndefinitely an error there.”<\/p>\nPredicting KO Losses for Ngannou, Hokit<\/h2>\n
\nshould indeed pair Robelis
\nDespaigne<\/a> and Ngannou in a future edition.<\/p>\n
\nNgannou<\/a>,\u201d Werdum said. \u201cHe has a lot of reach, speed, and
\nprecision. I’m 99% sure he’ll beat Ngannou by knockout.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nhistory of the sport, with finishes over Fedor
\nEmelianenko<\/a>, Antonio
\nRodrigo Nogueira<\/a> and Cain
\nVelasquez<\/a>, Werdum also commented on the current state of his
\ndivision in the UFC.<\/p>\n
\ndon’t understand why they put him in the White House. This guy
\ndoesn’t represent MMA. Our sport has nothing to do with WWE.
\n[Conor
\nMcGregor<\/a> and Chael
\nSonnen<\/a>] \u2014 those guys are smart, that’s trash talk. What this
\nguy does is ridiculous, it’s embarrassing. I’m sure Lewis will
\nknock him out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nPereira<\/a> and Ciryl Gane<\/a>, “Vai Cavalo” believes that the Frenchman’s heart will be a tipping
\npoint in favor of the Brazilian.<\/p>\n
\nhis fight with Jon Jones<\/a>,\u201d
\nWerdum said. \u201cHe accepted defeat, stood still and didn’t even
\nattempt a defense when the guillotine choke wasn’t even locked in.
\n\u2018Poatan\u2019 is a natural heavyweight; I don’t even see him moving up a
\ndivision. I think he’ll win and make history by being the first
\nfighter to win three belts, and in the White House no less.\u201d<\/p>\nReturn to Grappling?<\/h2>\n
\nin the fight between Wanderlei
\nSilva<\/a> and Pop\u00f3 Freitas, broadcast live by Rede Globo last
\nSeptember, he was no longer invited to be an MMA commentator on the
\nCombate channel. But on the other hand, his podcast and lectures
\nare going pretty well. Werdum has done more than 300 interviews on
\nhis podcast and did 48 lectures for big Brazilian companies. Werdum
\nalso revealed that he got a proposal to return in a grappling
\nmatch. He speculated that Ryan Bader<\/a> or
\nFrank
\nMir<\/a> may be among the potential opponents, but he did not give
\nmore details about which event and when it would happen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
