Fabricio Werdum UFC champion in the next 2 years?

Source: Renato Sobral believes Fabricio Werdum will be UFC heavyweight champion

 
Renato Sobral guarantees he will, but I think he just been nice since he is his teammate. Werdum stand up has improve over the years, but I can't see him beat JDS, Overeem, Cain, or Cormier. What u guys think?

Could be a perennial top 5 guy for the next 2-3 years. I agree with you, while his striking has improved his major strength is still his BJJ, and that's not enough to be a champ anymore. 

He would lose to Cain, Reem, JDS and Cormier

I take back the he can't beat Overeem comment because he can. In their second meeting he got the best of Overeem on the feet but was too scared to keep standing with him for some reason.

He has the best chance if Overeem is the champ. He won't beat JDS, Cain, or Cormier IMO.
