Shane Carwin was set to face Fabricio Werdum at ufc 141 in toronto but he now has to have surgery and is out. What do ye think about that fight? I dont know who I'd pick to win that one. At least we know Werdum is ufc bound now.

Damn, if there was no back surgery, Carwin would win that fight.  Werdum would do exactly what he did against Overeem.  Hopefully Carwin comes back okay, back surgery is a killer.

Carwin is a freakin beast, I would like to see him fight at least one more time after his surgery.  If he wins then he should retire.

Dude, Struve vs. Werdum would be awesome. I don't know who would win.

But 141 is pretty far away, maybe he'll recover in time.

Carwin is gonna retire. Hes almost 37. you cant be 37, nearing your peak as a fighter and expect to have a pretty big surgery only to come back and fight some of the best fighters iin the world. He should retire before he does permanent damage to himself.

Man, Werdum is criminally under rated. I'm not saying he'd beat Carwin, but Struve?

Let Werdum fight Herman. Then he'll see if jiu jitsu works or not.

Perhaps you're underrating Struve as well @Mino!

Don't get me wrong, Struve is good. Maybe not great, but good. However, Werdum is one of the best grapplers in MMA (subbed Fedor, swept Bigfoot, held his own against Nog), is an up to par striker (Struve would win on the feet but he isn't really brimming with power) and Struve is succeptible to takedowns (Mccorkle). I think Werdum takes that fight.

Also, my comment about him being under rated wasn't so much about people picking Struve over him. Just in general he gets looked over. I don't think he's top 5 but he's pretty darn good.

@Mino,

I agree with you in all of that.

Well stated! And I do also think that Werdum is very underrated.
