I honestly think Luke Rockhold would've finished Werdum if that fight had happened

[chitoortiz]

I agree, Werdum have zero hands and he is zero threat on the feet, he is not athletic nor explosive enough to surprise Luke

KO'd Mark Hunt
Won the striking against Cain
Did very well in the striking against Overeem.

Yeah, zero threat on the feet.

Go to bed kid, try again tomorrow.

Short training camp and got dropped during the fight
Cain was coming from a layoff and let's not forget about sea level Cain
lol Overeem

also ***STEROIDS***

Did he KO or not KO Mark fucking Hunt?

Did he outstrike Cain or not?

Did he fail a test for either of those fights?

Even with your stipulations....nobody who is zero threat on the feet could be to accomplish those feats.

Come on man, wake up.

Werdum would send him to narnia , heavyweights hit fucking hard and Luke is kinda chiny.

Werdum's BJJ is really overrated imo, he's fast at locking in subs if you leave yourself exposed, but his positional grappling is meh for "elite black belt" standards

He spent like 10 minutes on top of Volkov in his last fight and couldn't do shit with it, and his guard didn't threaten a single submission or sweep against MARK HUNT, who has some of the worst submission defense out there

So not sweeping Mark Hunt makes his BJJ overrated? What does this make his stand up then?

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Werdum's BJJ is on a similar level to Vinny Magalhães who beat Gordon Ryan who's better than Rockhold at BJJ. Werdum is too big, too well rounded and too good for Rockhold and IMO it wouldn't even be a grappling match. Werdum would TKO him on the feet.

 

[Davey Crockett]

It looks like Mousasi v Rory

 

[Ornife]

This is the first time I've ever heard of this. Insane. Too bad it didn't happen. That would have been really interesting.

 

[Jackonfire]

Fight wouldn't even get sanctioned after the absolute beating Bisping put on Luke.

You have the strangest AV, I like it.

The av chose me, like a wand in Harry Potter.

Holy shit there is still a Luke fan??

Werdum was/is completely washed out in this fight, he might even be done, too old.

His transitions in this fight were so lousy, so slow... But...Volkov was completely clueless during these transitions on the ground...
Watch the fight again, but pay only attention to Volkov´s face and hips on the ground during these transtions, especially those when Doom had his back briefly or his knee... Volko keeps looking left and right to guess what to do...

Much more: during Doom´s [lousy and so slow] transition to armbar, he got out of it, sure pretty easily, but he neither anticipated it nor guessed it...

So no. 2 things were exposed on the ground:

1> Volkov is still a rookie

2> Doom is done.

LOL

Guess how he won the Einemo fight, for instance (match-up btw 2 legit grapplers)?

Lmao. Rockhold would have a like 10% chance.

Edit: meant 1%

 

[MMA__Analyst]

lmaooo Werdum would toy with rockhold. Rockhold can't outgrapple Werdum, he would get tapped real quick, and Rockholds striking is not better than werdums.

Your telling me the Werdum that KO'd mark hunt cant KO rockhold......

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

How? Rockhold has poor hands, makes mistakes and could not out grapple him. Terrible mismatch.
Props to Luke for having the balls to want such a fight. Guys with that type of courage are a rarity in the UFC.
