How good is Werdum's striking now?

[James Edwart]

I've just rewatched Werdum's fight with Overeem, both the first and second rounds were very even, but Werdum got the upper hand in the third in the, he didn't "clip" Overeem, he legit exchanged with him and won, no bullshit storming in wild hook, which makes me question this: Is Werdum's striking as good as Overeem's now?

His striking is pretty good, as long as he doesn't go full-tard rushing in, flailing. He chin-checked Hunto with a (sorta) flying knee, for fux sake.

 

[dildos]

7/10...

 

[DarkneT]

He's alright, much improved to be fair

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

definitely a top 5 striker in the division.


is his striking better than reem? no but werdum should have won that fight.

 

[BBMN]

It's like he can dial it up if he's feeling confident. He did so to Nelson and Browne.

 

[UFC=Pride]

Much improved over the years if he's patient and picks his spots doesn’t rush in like against Stipe.

Yeah, from the ORIGINAL Reem fight, he's not even the same fighter

Homie literally PRAYED for dudes to fall to the ground with him. haha

You can almost guarantee Werdum started putting more time into stand up thanks to JDS. lol. Good times.

 

[bobgeese]

Pretty damn good.

I rewatched that fight recently and it was way closer than people make it out to be. In fact Werdum landed more shots than Overeem in the standup and was much more agressive. He could've easily gotten the nod

I actually thought Werdum won most of the striking exchanges in their first fight as well.

If it wasn't for the silly flopping to the ground, I think Fabricio would have won.

I think he gets too overconfident in his striking sometimes. But I'd rank him above Hunt and even Reem right now in terms of striking, because he can strike without being scared of getting taken down and he doesn't have a glass chin. Stipe probably has the best striking now at HW due to his power and terrifying pressure.

if they fought in a ring, with k1 gloves and k1 rules...overeem would murder werdum...

His teep against traverdyan was 10/10

most of the human population would have died right there,fact.

 

[Fight Professor]

It is really good for a grappler. In comparison, Maia has no striking and Jacare is a wild brawler.

Tbf he was doing well in that fight as well, that was their second fight btw. He was doing well on the feet he just wasn't confident enough on the feet against somebody like Overeem so he kept trying to get Overeem to follow him to the ground.
