Werdum joins Chute Boxe
Werdum next to Chute Boxe :: TATAME
Great move by Werdum imo. He will be able to learn how to strike, and he will improve Shogun and company's BJJ.

This is great for Werdum! He always had the top ground game, now he can add some standup to his aresenal.

This sounds awesome. I'm afraid for whoever fights him once he works on his standup with Chute Boxe.

This is a great move for both Werdum and Chute Boxe. It will only make both stronger.

Very good move for both sides. Werdum is top flight in the BJJ world. With Werdum joining Chute Boxe and Big Nog leaving Brazilian Top Team you have to think that puts Chute Boxe back on top in their rivalry.

This is good news. Hopefully they'll tell him to ditch the bitch slap.

i believe Werdum was supposed to join Chute Boxe a few years back as they needed a Heavyweight instructor for BJJ. however CroCop made him a better offer and he trained Mirko instead.

Honestly i hope he leaves cro cops cant. I think they have done all that they can for each other. Cro Cop needs to train at hammer hours for a few moths. Get his sprawl tight and then look to advance his BJJ.

there is nothing that Hammer House can teach Mirko, his sprawl is as good as anybody's and he does'nt need wrestling to do what he does best. Mirko is in his prime and he just needs to tweak what he is already doing. His ground game is purely defensive. BTW, he does'nt train with Werdum anymore, they parted ways.

What he said. They quit training together before the OWGP. Not much for him to learn at Hammer House except how to act like an idiot.

Werdum is a dangerous character. He already looked evil in the stand up against AA. Not because he did well, but because he looked threatening all of the time. If he can become half the stand up fighter W. Silva is, that, added to his ground game, should make him a serious contender.

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate? Maybe I'm reading this wrong. I don't know.

Abother nice addition to the baddest team on the planet lol.......if Werdum can learn some of the striking that shogun,ninja and last but not least Wandy have then look out.With his ground skills not only will he be a more complete fighter but he can help wandy and rest out with ground skills its a win win situiation for both Werdum and Chute Boxe imo.
