Man, Werdum didn't even have a decent record in pride. If Arlovski beats OBrien pay him whatever the hell he wants. Give him Fedor money, just KEEP HIM. My God, wasn't it in April when the heavyweight division was said to be one of the deepest? Holee sheet, if Werdum gets a title shot, they should just abandon the heavyweight division.

I wouldn't be against him in his fight with Herring, whose only recent win was against a Imes. Kongo looked very good in his win against Cro Cop.

It really could have been amazing with Randy and Fedor but now it just feels so shallow. The UFC’s heavyweight division is so depressing.

Also I am sure they would have loved to give this to Vera but he showed up far too short last fight to say the least. No matter what I am sure the UFC thought Cro Cop would be in the mix through 2009 at the very least. “just beat the former #1 contender…”

Not that Werdum is but atleast he just beat the former #1 contender...
