Werdum seems worried.

[Kyler Ruxin]

He knows he has to get this to the ground. Volkov has obviously been training his grappling, and has the clear advantage on the feet. He is being severely underrated in this fight. How do you see this fight going Sherdog?

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Werdum is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and Volkov was dominated by ADCC Kongo and lost to Timothy Johnson on every media outlet's score card.

Decision.....
I hope it's a fun fight. It's got a few elements that can make it boring. An over-cautious Werdum can stall things.

Dude is 29 right now. In the HW division that basically makes him a newborn.

Every loss before was a learning experience and I think it's all gonna come together on Saturday.

Werdum worried about nooting’

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I love Werdum, but have to pick Volkov by dec here.

He sure looks like a newborn giraffe with that TDD.

 

[DeformedGravy]

It is still Werdum time.

 

[Erocthadon]

That look of concern.

 

[TDD]

Volkoff by Decision, but if the fight hits the ground just once i am confident Werdum will get a Sub.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

That's what Werdum will be thinking right before he runs into a knee.

fighters get better and fighters also get worse

volkov is going to be the bigger, better striker. if he avoids werdum's knees and can stop the takedown, its his fight to lose.

 

[Deleted member 436105]

Volkov was in a dog fight with Struve before he gassed. Werdum will probably pick him apart before takedowns

 

[rakeleaves]

Volkov has pretty bad TDD. I think Werdum takes him down and subs him. But then again Werdum is old and Volkov is probably getting better at 29.

 

[chinarice]

It doesn't matter who the opponent is, I root for them to KTFO Werdum.

 

[blaseblah]

If Tybura can't outstrike Werdum I doubt Volkov can. Werdum is better everywhere.

 

[The ScorpioN]

If Werdum can't single leg him to the floor (which he probably will, and promptly choke him out) he's gonna get jabbed and baby leg kicked to losing a dec.

 

[HelloJapan]

I wouldn't say "worried", more like aware. I like when a fighter fights to their strengths. I hate seeing Maia box, Rumble grapple DC, etc.

[Gabe]

Seems like he's done his homework. He should win.
