This will be good for him, no doubt about it, but i dont think this going to make him into the striking beast everyone thinks he is going to be. He has been doing professional mma for what? 2 years? His striking against AA was absolutely atrocious. You would think he would have picked up how to throw a decent punch in that time. That isn't to say that he wont improve his stand-up game, I just think that he isnt a natural striker and wont pick up on it as much as others no matter who is teaching him.
You look at other fighters who are dominant in a particular area, like Matt Hughes with gnp, train excessively with stand-up and striking, but I don't think you will ever see him highlight reel KO someone no matter how much, or who he trains with. I think the same will be said for Werdum.
However, this will be a beneficial addition to team Chute Boxe.
