Fabricio Werdum Comments On Lesnar vs. Couture

From TATAME:

“Ultimate (UFC) thinks about business, and Lesnar is more famous in United States. I don’t know how they’ll do it, because my new contract guarantees a title shot with a victory against Cigano. They should have put Cigano, who is a newcomer in the event, to face Lesnar, who only has one fight in UFC. But that’s OK, I’ll win quickly my next fight and my time will come. Nogueira will certainly defeat Frank Mir and Couture will beat Lesnar. The `big’ Lesnar won’t make it, Couture will use a good strategy to get him tired and will win on the last round. I can’t see him winning, Couture has a lot more experience and Lesnar is like a white-belt there.”

Poor Werdum, just can't catch a break in the UFC. He'll next fight at UFC 90 on October 25th against newcomer Junior “Cigano” Dos Santos and if he wins and does get that title shot it likely won't be until sometime in late 2009.
