Yeah, he sat on an obvious lead in the last round, so its understandable that the crowd might be unhappy about that, but they were angry with Werdum for continuing in that weird "I call time out, ref not stopped yet" situation which was bullshit in the first place because the ref is not supposed to stop the fight in that situation. Werdum had every right to keep fighting just like when Silva blasted Bisping when he was complaining to the ref about his mouthpiece. [Reply]
they are booing Werdum and he's trying to say something that's important to him then they show a shot of Forest Griffin and that kid that thinks he can beat Cruz lol and the crowd pops [Reply]

Exactly. His goal is to get that belt back. He's not risking a freak KO. He was still pretty active anyway, just wasn't going for the kill. [Reply]

Yeah, of course. The fight should been over and I thought Werdum looked impressive until that point.
He gassed himself on the ground then danced around for two rounds with a guy who didn't throw a right hand for two rounds. He looked nothing like a guy ready for the next Title fight. [Reply]
