Fabricio Werdum has been on a tear since returning to the UFC back in 2012. ‘Vai Calvao’ has gone 6-0 over the last 4 years since returning to the Octagon, capturing the UFC heavyweight championship in the process.<\/p>\n

Werdum has looked dominant over the course of the 6 wins, submitting Antonio Nogueira, dominating Travis Browne en route to a decision, TKOing Mark Hunt<\/a>, and submitting Cain Velasquez.<\/p>\n

With all that being said however, former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos believes that Stipe Miocic will have the advantage when he fights Werdum at UFC 198<\/a> on May 14th.<\/p>\n

He spoke to MMAFighting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Werdum has evolved a lot, he impressed in the few times he fought. He has evolved a lot. His ground game is the best in the heavyweight division, no question about it. He has what it takes to keep the belt for a good time, but he\u2019s facing a tough opponent next. Miocic has that knockout punch. I was completely dizzy a few moments when we fought. He has that punch, and his stand-up is more complete and better than Werdum\u2019s.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t see how\u2026 Werdum is excellent on the ground, but I don\u2019t see him taking anyone down. If the fight stays standing, I see Miocic as the favorite. If it goes to the ground, it\u2019s going to be fast. But I see Miocic as the favorite standing. Comparing their qualities, I don\u2019t see Werdum taking him down, so it\u2019s going to be a stand-up fight and Miocic has an advantage.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Miocic will be riding a 2-fight win streak into his bout with Werdum, both of which have come by way of TKO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
