Fabricio Werdum vs. Derrick Lewis Targeted For UFC 216 (Poll)

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Didn't Derrick just lose to Mark Hunt? Why is he getting a step up in comp? Makes no sense whatsoever. Matchmaking has been shit this year.

WME has struggled with matchmaking for sure.

 

[Readybodisready]

Werdum is the GOAT HW, it's total disrespect to have him fight a total can like lewis.

 

[crlkllr]

Werdum should easily take this.

 

[UL]

Meh.

Werdum should win but he can't get carried away

 

[Ken Fresno]

Wait, what?

Is pretending to retire an MMA thing now too?

Is he changing from Black Beast to Money Lewis?

 

[Platinum]

Didn't Derrick retire lmao

At least we get to see the rise of the One who will open the gates to a new audience, Kevin "Asian Sensation" Lee!

Back to back losses for Lewis, but I'd laugh my tits off if Werdum came in trolling and got corpsed.

honestly, it is a tough fight for Werdum. He is better than Lewis in terms of overall abilities and ability vs the top guys, but he matches up poorly, i think. Lewis is not easy to take or hold down, and standing with him sucks. Werdum should be able to outstrike him, but in terms of power and chin... Lewis needs far less landed shots than Werdum.

man


really depends how Werdum comes in

if it's Caol Uno flying kick, fools rush in Doom, he could absolutely get clobbered


if he's careful, econoDoom, he taps BB easy, imo


if I had to make a prediction, I'd say Fabricio by RNC

 

[Defanged]

This is a step down for Werdum.

I kinda like Lee.

 

[BigMuffler]

I kinda like Lee.

So do I, both for his ground game and his last name.

UFC 216 coming together over the last two days. We still need a Main Event and like, 1 more solid Main Card fight and the PPV will at least be serviceable.

I think its going to be tony vs lee. Ill be pleasantly surprised if im wrong

 

[TheAgent025]

Werdum all day long he is better everywhere .

Ferguson vs Lee is the main?

 

[norsuu]

Didn't Derrick retire lmao

no, he said in the post fight interview vs hunt he probably retire...but few days later he said he would continue fighting.If he was retired, he wasn't in the ufc rankings (like rumble)

Hey you have a 2010 account. Don't you remember? This is how the matchmaking used to be during the Joe Silvs days.

 

[Arkridge]

Ferguson vs Lee is the main?

Dana said he thought it was the co-main

 

[JohnMandick]

Werdum should win easy but I would like to see Lewis just he-hulk himself out of subs and crush him, prime Bob Sapp style.
