The fight is in Brasil. Who gets it and how?

Werdum by TKO/KO?
Werdum by sub?
Werdum by decisión?
Miocic by TKO/KO?
Miocic by decisión?
 
Werdum by sub is my guess but this is HW. Stipe by TKO is possible.
 
Miocic TKO by way of just being relentless and constantly busy
 
Putting it out there, I think Miocic spoils the Brazilian party in the third round.

(And I really like Werdum)
 
Werdum wins 8 out of 10 times. Miocic is just not believable, kind of a mini hype train. Werdum is tried and tested. Werdum, Sub, Rd. 2
 
If Miocic keeps it standing he beats werdum. We might see werdum flop like he did against overeem when miocic boxes his ass up on the feet.
 
Werdum got this. He has so much more expirience, I think he can win on the feet as well as on the ground
 
Werdum by Sub.
If not, its Werdum by TKO.
 
IMHO Werdum is better in any aspect of MMA. He can win by any way. His thai box became surprisingly good and effective. I can't see hole in his game. His BJJ is dangeous so the opponents waste a lot of energy and attention to aviod ground game and this setting gives a lot of chance to Werdum in striking.
 
I don't know, Werdum's standup seems to vary considerably. When he's on point, it looks solid, but other times he just don't look that good. In the Big Nog 2 fight, for example, and also in the Hunt fight until that beautiful knee. I guess styles make fights, and I just don't know how well Werdum is gonna handle Miocic's striking game. Miocic might find himself choked unconscious all of a sudden if he pushes the action too hard so my take is that he's gonna try to box him up on the outside. He'd want to stay away from Werdum's clinch game too as it's pretty strong. His weakness is on the outside, imo, but how good is Miocic on the outside himself? Good matchup - I hope Werdum wins.
 
Werdum by SUB more experience he beat three of the greatest Heavyweights of all time he is going to be to much Miocic
 
I got Werdum, something like 70/30.

Miocic has a big advantage on the feet

But Werdum has a huge advantage on the ground.

I see Werdum taking Stipe down, tiring him, smothering him, some light GnP, sub threats to keep busy, etc
And I don't see Miocic getting up without the horn blowing or the ref intervening.

And when Stipe is tired, finish him with a sub.
Stipe is good, and could catch Werdum à la JDS, but he doesn't have the same power in his fists, so if he gets rocked Fabricio could pull guard and take a break, don't think Miocic would jump in his guard...

Miocic recently proved me wrong against AA, but I wasn't has confident as I am about Werdum.
 
It could go either way.

Werdum is going to be confident in Brazil with the support of his country.

Stipe is going to be confident because hes been on a roll and both skillsets can create problems for both guys.

One thing about Werdum is that he is clever as fuck and extremely tough.

60/40 in favor of Werdum IMO but wont be shocked if Stipte wins.
 
As I say it's just my opinion. Werdum is sneaky and reach isn't a sure fire win
But Miocic held his own in a striking-war with JDS, a more polished striker then Werdum. Miocic has pretty good precision and he hits hard. Very dangerous the first 2. But one major problem for Miocic is that his cardio is not the best, he never entirely gased in the 5 rounder with JDS, but he got tired and clearly lost the last rounds because of lack of cardio. I think Werdum has a gameplan that invoves the championship rounds? I am also hesitant that Miocic wrestling will neutralize Werdum's brazilian jiu jitsu?
