PUBLICITY:

Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne are experiencing the best moments of their careers. They are on a three-fight winning streak and are aiming for the chance to challenge the champion Cain Velazquez for the most popular title in Ultimate. The fight for the belt should take place in 2014, in November, in an event that should mark the organization's debut in Mexico.

Werdum was announced as a challenger at the end of 2013, but, as the champion suffered an injury, he ended up agreeing to compete in one more fight so as not to be away from events for too long.

PUBLICITY:

Aware of the risk of losing and moving away from the belt, the Brazilian only thinks about following his combat strategy to the letter. “It will be five rounds, 25 minutes inside the Octagon. So I'm going to get advantages in clinches and exchanges at close range”, explained the gaucho, guaranteeing that he won't be hasty in taking down the Hawaiian and exposing himself to elbows.
