Fabricio Werdum
When Stipe Miocic entered the ring against Andrei Arlovski, he was pretty aware of the stakes on the table. There was no room for mistakes so he had to bring his A-game to keep his head afloat if he is to one day vie for the UFC heavyweight title.
The highly anticipated rematch between Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez is not happening in 2015 but in 2016.
Brazilian pride Cain Velasquez may have fallen the last time out but the UFC veteran will get a chance to redeem himself as both fighters face off once more at a date and place that has yet to be made official.
Fedor Emelianenko hasn’t exactly hit it well with the UFC so it seems quite curious while the Russian fighter is suddenly interested in a rematch against Fabricio Werdum.
Who could possibly be in line to get first crack at new heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum?
Fabricio Werdum did mention before that he would be open to a rematch with Cain Velasquez but the latest word around is that he may not necessarily be the first in line.
After handily defeating Fabricio Werdum, two names have been mentioned as his possible opponents – Andrei Arlovski and Stipe Miocic.
Werdum showed he was in pretty good shape, wearing down Velasquez who on the other end seemed to be struggling. After seemingly running out of gas after the second round, Velasquez resorted to take downs as he was seemingly left gasping for air.
Two fighters, the returning Cain Velasquez and interim champion Fabricio Werdum will face off this coming Sunday in a heavyweight title unification match in UFC 188 at the Mexico City Arena in Mexico City.
Cain Velasquez is set to fight Fabricio Werdum for the UFC heavyweight title at UFC 180 on November 15, 2014. The big faceoff will be held in Mexico City.
