*Werdum Vs Miocic: Who gets it and how?*

[muaythaibeast]

Werdum's chin is as good as they come, and when you factor in his grappling threat, his striking is very dangerous. Miocic should have the better boxing, but apart from that I'm not sure how he wins it. Werdum is tailor made to beat wrestle boxers like Miocic and Velasquez. If you're going to beat him you need elite striking and solid tdd

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?



UFC 198 Pelea Gratis: Moicic vs Del Rosario

All good points fella. Here's where we need a bar, a good bottle of tequila, big screen and a good old fashioned gentleman a bar bet

 

[Non]

Werdum by decision i think.

 

[djacobox372]

Miocic will follow him to the ground and pay the price.

On the feet it's interesting, Werdum's style of clinch fighting could be difficult for a more traditional boxing style like Miocic to deal with.

Thank you

Very very close fight imho.

That said I have Werdum as a slight favorite here. Either Werdum by TKO or Werdum by sub.

Problem is Stipe is tough tough guy. If the odds are good it might be a good idea to drop some $ on him.

 

[CM Monk]

Stone Cold Stipe Miocic by stunner.

 

[Dorkman]

Miocic TKO by way of just being relentless and constantly busy

Yeah if he can stop werdum's ability to strike from range and get on the inside without giving up a TD it's a possibility.

 

[AWilder]

If I were stipe I would want to drag the fight out to the 4th and 5th rounds to look for a TKO. As others have said, I think Stipe is better on the feet, but Werdum is very Wiley and experienced and his standup has improved a lot in the past few years. I think it really depends on who shows up closest so to 100% healthy and who has the better game plan. I'm rooting for Werdum because I'd like to see him defend the belt and I like his trolling

 

[Final Say]

How is that? Describe to me how Miocic does that?

First round (T)KO. Overeem can't strike with him

 

[crofighter]

There are 3 possible endings. One is Werdum by submission and the other two are either Miocic by TKO or Miocic by decision. I dont see any other way.

Gameplan - Not sure about Werdum, Stipe usually has a good one though
Overall MMA - Stipe

Stipe has much better striking credentials. His boxing is very technical, way more so than anyone else in the division. Werdum is more dangerous grappling, but Stipe is no slouch with D1 NCAA pedigree.

 

[BryanTheFighter]

Werdum by being better at everything. But probably submission or TKO.

Everything?

 

[Breaking]

Werdum by sub.

 

[ilfirin]

Everything?

Everything that is even remotely relevant. Miocic might have better wrestling, but that doesn't mean jack shit when fighting a multiple world champion in BJJ who's notoriously good off of his back. There is no place in a cage where he'll be even slightly safe with Werdum.

 

[Glumberjack]

I'm going slightly outside the box and saying Werdum wins but does it by (T)KO instead of submission. I see him hurting Miocic with a knee or a series of knees and finishing up with punches on the floor. Just a hunch.

 

[Fight Professor]

I see a dominant decision by Werdum similar to Werdum vs. Browne.

 

[HomeRun916]

Werdum via decision.

 

[Jer713]

Werdum by decision

Stipe is game though, can't count anyone out, especially at HW

WAR VAI CAVALO!
