Fabricio Werdum News

bjpenndotcom - September 10, 2016

Earlier this year, the MMA community was left stunned as UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum was knocked out cold by Stipe Miocic, who landed a spectacular counter-punch that knocked out Werdum. Tonight at UFC 203 in Cleveland, Ohio, ‘Vai Calvao’ will have the opportunity to return to the win column and potentially earn himself a title shot against the winner of Stipe Miocic vs. Alistair Overeem. A win for Werdum, who is ranked as the #1 contender on the UFC’s official heavyweight rankings, ahead of former champion Cain Velasquez, would likely cement Werdum’s place at the top of the heavyweight division.

UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum is never one to shy away from taunting or trolling his opponents. Ahead of his UFC 198 fight against Stipe Miocic on May 14th, Werdum took some time to taunt Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne, who are fighting at UFC 200 on July 9th. Ironically, Werdum has previously defeated both men, and they are likely fighting for the #1 contender spot at heavyweight. Werdum defeated Velasquez for the heavyweight championship back at UFC 188 via submission to unify the UFC heavyweight championship. In addition, he defeated Travis Browne back in 2014 at UFC on FOX 11.
