War Werdum!

I don't understand why Gonzaga is such a heavey favourite in this fight, when the poll came up on Sherdogs main page it was about 70% voting for Gonzaga via KO or Sub.

Werdum is 9-3 with his only losses coming via decision to Arlovski, Lil Nog and Sergei Kharitonov all top fighters. Whilst Werdum has finished Gonzaga (albeit early in his career) Tengiz Tendoraze, Tom Erikson, Roman Zentsov, Alistair Overeem and Aleksander Emelianenko! So if you're just comparing records which seems to be the yardstick most fighters are measured by then surely Werdum should be the favourite?!

GG is just a much more popular fighter, I don't really think he is that big of a favorite in this fight.

it's not about the records, it's about styles.
werdum cant take gonzaga down, but gonzaga can take werdum down.
werdum has no knockout power, but gonzaga does have KO power in his hands and feet.
i also think that gonzaga will overpower werdum with his strength.
i see gonzaga winning by LnP decision.

i'll root for werdum though

I think it is a reflection of their recent fights in the UFC. GG looked great against CroCop and didn't embarass himself vs. Randy. By comparison, Werdum's fight vs. AA was a complete embarassment (cute slaps though).

Is his nickname slappy? Because that's what I affectionately call him.

I'll never be on his wagon. Sorry. Not a fan.
