Javier Mendez: Cain Velasquez will give Fabricio Werdum a worse beating than Junior dos Santos

"That guy isn’t losing," he said. "Cain’s doing great. He’s on point. He’s looking great, physically, mentally everything’s right. The goal with him, he wants to come out and he wants to make a statement. And that I will say. He’s going to make a statement in that fight. So he’s going to remind everybody why he’s best. I’m being honest with you -- Werdum’s going to get destroyed. That’s just the way I look at it, and Cain’s looking at it the same way. We’re either going to stop him or we’re going to hurt him really bad. He’s going to get a worse beating than dos Santos if he makes five rounds, and that’s a fact."

One thing that is not a fact, at least in his mind, is the notion that a rivalry is forming between AKA and the Los Angeles-based gym, Kings MMA. Kings is home to both Werdum and Dos Anjos, the guys in the immediate and future crosshairs for his fighters. Though there have been whispers that things are getting contentious between the California-based gyms, Mendez said that he and Kings coach Rafael Cordeiro are friends.

"There’s no rivalry," he said. "If there is a rivalry it’s the fighters doing it, not the coaches. So, maybe I should rephrase that…if there is a rivalry Daniel [Cormier] and Khabib and those guys are doing that. I’m not involved. The coaches are all friends."

So who's taking wedum?

He's looked increasingly great and Cain is a question mark on rehab.

I would've given it to Werdum 100% in November.
Now that Cain has cycled off, and Werdum is ....38?
was that I'm leaning towards Cain

I'll not count out Werdum, but my gut says Cain. I just want to see it already!

 

[ThatOneDude]

When's the fight? I'm leaning Werdum either way.

If it has a date set, i haven't heard it.

I tend to agree with Javier. People think this is going to be a war, some even have Werdum winning...I think Cain puts a beating on him.

Ah, I wondered.......was beginning to think I'd missed something. That would have been a weird and unfortunate!

it depends on the kind of testing for the fight, if they can use EPO.
