Strikeforce Heavyweight GP veteran Fabricio "Vai Cavalo" Werdum continued to speculate about his potential return to the UFC Octagon, this time calling out the TUF 10 finalist Brendan Schaub. Werdum tweeted “Brendan Schaub, I’m ready for you. Anytime, anywhere” and "Great fight for the UFC fans with @brendanschaub", looking to be Hybrid's second Brazilian opponent in a row.

Schaub last seen losing to Minotaur Nogueira via TKO at UFC: Rio, a defeat that cut Grudge Training Center product's four-fight win streak inside the Octagon. As for Werdum, multi-time ADCC Champion 3-2 in his last five fights, with victories over Antonio Silva, Mike Kyle, Fedor Emelianenko, and losses to the current #1 contender for the UFC Heavyweight title Junior "Cigano" dos Santos and "The Reem" Alistair Overeem.

Earlier this week, Werdum discussed his possible return to the UFC (without giving a clear answer):

    He only did that because he was afraid of Overeem's striking, there is a big difference in Overeem and Schaub's striking. Remember Werdum has ont bad Muay Thai himself

    Werdum was afraid to get hit by Reem, i don't think it would be the same against Schaub. He is trained by Rafael Cordeiro, he has solid stand up, he just didn't show it in his last fight.

    I totally agree, fact of the matter is Werdum was up against some top heavyweights in the strike force GP, he fought an amazing striker in reem and lost a shitty decision, but he was landing some quick in-out combos, he give fedor his first loss, Schaub is a serious drop in competition I think. Werdum is just looking for an opening so the UFC will sign him, and if he gets the fight its an easy win for him....give him mir, no slouch in the jits department and some fine striking.....it would be an interesting fight

    werdum beat the "suppossed best of the best " in Fedor and can't comment on his current negotiations but is tweetina fight with Brendan( a UFC fighter) What does that tell you.????



    I personally think he was beating alistair on his feet in spots , just like Edgar beat BJ. But he laid down and died, begging overeem to come to his bread and butter.



    Either call out a Top five guy or don't come over and sign. I am a huge fan of Fabricio but dissapointed in his approach. Come to win it all or dont come at all, Do you want to be just a contender?????

    I think that's a bad choice for werdum cus he thinks that's an easy fight after what nog did. Buuuttt brendan still has heavy hands imagine shaub tkos werdum he'd be knocked down in the ranks for sure

    some people get hate for no reason. WERDUM IS ****ING ANNOYING. not because he subbed fedor, just his personality. I just never respected the BJJ is my life mentality. and his face

    Hello you dumb Morons....for those who want to see Werdum in the UFC, just look at his fight with JDS where he gets Knocked the F^^^ out!!! lmao. do you really want to see a dumb fighter like this who likes to fight off his back??? lol, get real. He cant/wont beat anyone in the UFC again...I lost all respect for this clown after the Overeem fight, all he did was lay on his back waiting to be F*****D in the A$$ by Overeem. I dont care if he knew he was going to get knocked out, if he wanted to show his fans and his ability to fight top tier competition, then he should not be trying to sleep in the middle of the match. He should've stood and faught like a man, instead like a Beatch on the floor. lol. So for the fools who want him back in the UFC, go back to BJJ wrestling matches were he's actually good b/c everyone else is on their backs already. lol now suck my nipples. lol

    Your an idiot.

    JDS is in my opinion quite likely the next HW champ, and possibly the best HW in the world....we will know if he is number 1 or 2 if he beats cain. Also MMA math don't work, he never got KO'ed by big foot who is a heavy hitter, he is a good fighter, honestly though he will never reach UFC gold but he is a top 10 HW fighter without a shadow of a doubt. Besides if you want ppl to and i quote 'faught' like a man why don't you head down to your local MMA gym find the best striker in the club who out weighs you by about 25 pounds and stand and strike with him for the best part of 15 mins......
