Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-06-13, aggressive start, tough exchanges and great finish: Cain Velasquez vs Fabricio Werdum is close to get four stars (UFC Performance of the Night).
The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Ufc Hw champion Cain Velasquez entered this fight with a professional mma record of 13-1-0 (85% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since October 19, 2013 when he defeated Junior dos Santos (in their third fight, Velasquez vs dos Santos 3); after some month he underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus. His only loss occurred in 2011 when he faced for the first time ‘Cigano’ dos Santos (=Dos Santos vs Velasquez) but then he beat twice Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva and JDS.
His opponent, the black belt in Bjj and judo Fabricio Werdum, has an official record of 19-5-1 (79% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.1 heavyweight in the world. ‘Vai Cavalo’ Werdum suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced Alistair Overeem (=Overeem vs Werdum), since then he has collected five consecutive victories winning the interim Ufc Hw title in his last bout, against Mark Hunt (=Werdum vs Hunt). Velasquez vs Werdum, main event of Ufc 188, is valid for the Ufc heavyweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2014-11-15, Fabricio Werdum vs Mark Hunt gets three stars thanks to a spectacular finish (UFC Performance of the Night). The black belt in judo and Bjj Fabricio Werdum entered this fight with a professional mma record of 18-5-1 (78% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.2 heavyweight in the world, he suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced Alistair Overeem (=Overeem vs Werdum), since then he has won four consecutive bouts, the last one against Travis Browne (=Werdum vs Browne).
His opponent, the 40-year-old and former K-1 world champion Mark Hunt (three years older than Werdum), has an official record of 10-8-1 (70% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he entered as the No.4 in the same weight class but he won just one out of his last three bouts, against Roy Nelson (=Hunt vs Nelson); before this fight he had lost to Junior dos Santos (=dos Santos vs Hunt) and then drawn against Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva in one of the best mma fights of 2013 (=Silva vs Hunt). Werdum vs Hunt, main event of Ufc 180, is valid for the interim UFC heavyweight title; Hunt replaces #1 Cain Velasquez who was forced to pull out of the bout due to an injured knee.

Review: 2014-04-19, the pace slows down in the second part of the fight but the first part was really nice: Fabricio Werdum vs Travis Browne gets three stars. The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo Fabricio Werdum entered this fight with a professional mma record of 17-5-1 (82% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.4 heavyweight in the world, he suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced Alistair Overeem (quarterfinal of the Strikeforce Hw Grand Prix Overeem vs Werdum), since then he has fought and won three times but just once in 2013 against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (=Nogueira vs Werdum 2).
His opponent, Travis Browne, has an official record of 16-1-1 (87% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.5 in the same weight class, the only fighter who defeated Browne was Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva in 2012 (Browne vs Silva), after that bout he has collected three consecutive wins via ko in the first round: against Gabriel Gonzaga (=Browne vs Gonzaga), Alistair Overeem (=Overeem vs Browne) and Josh Barnett (=Barnett vs Browne); currently the #1 in this division is Cain Velasquez. Werdum vs Browne, Ufc heavyweight title eliminator, is the main event of UFC on Fox 11. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2013-06-08, the second fight between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fabricio Werdum gets three stars thanks to a great second round.

Review: 2012-06-23, even with the TKO in the first round, the fight between Fabricio Werdum and Mike Russow isn’t worth our three stars. Fabricio Werdum (15-5-1) entered as the No.6 heavyweight in the world while Mike Russow (15-1-0) entered as the No.18. Werdum vs Russow is on the undercard of Wanderlei Silva vs Rich Franklin 2 (UFC 147). Rate the video!
Review: 2012-02-04, nice and tough fight between Fabricio Werdum and Roy Nelson: three stars (UFC Fight of the Night).

Review: 2011-06-18, Alistair Overeem wanted to fight standing while Fabricio Werdum tried to go to the mat, therefore “the fight never started” and was not very exciting. Alistair Overeem defeated Fabricio Werdum by unanimous decision and won the quarterfinal of the Strikeforce heavyweight Grand Prix. Watch the video!
