The heavyweight belt belongs to Brazil again. In an almost impeccable performance, the gaucho Fabricio Werdum withstood the intense pace of Cain Velazquez, showed his progress in the stand-up game and took advantage of his rival's oversight to submit him and win the definitive title of the 120 kg division in the main fight of UFC 188, this Saturday (13).
With Werdum's triumph, Brazil now has three champions, repeating its second best record in Ultimate – and just one achievement away from equaling the record for simultaneous champions in the largest MMA organization on the planet.
This historic moment for Brazilian MMA and for “Vai Cavalo”, as Werdum is known, you can review now, in all details (Video offered by FOX in the USA).
