Even outside of the heavyweight belt dispute, Fabricio Werdum There's nothing to complain about Ultimate. The Brazilian, who was involved in friction with the show last September, regained his position as official commentator for the Spanish-language franchise. After publicly protesting against Reebok, the UFC's sporting equipment supplier, the athlete was removed from the broadcasts and did not hide his irritation with the event. But, after a conversation with Dana White, president of the UFC, Werdum resolved the issues and was rehired to perform this role on TV.

During an interview on the 'MMA Hour' program, Werdum celebrated his return to TV. According to the athlete, the happiness of being back is not just for the money, but for the 'love of work'.

“I'm very happy because I love this job. It's not just about the money. It's my job, I love this job. The first time I went on television to commentate I didn't like it because I had a fight coming up and I didn't want to be there. But now I love it. I love that this broadcast is Spanish, for all of Latin America, for the US on FOX Desportes. And I'm fluent in Spanish, I feel very comfortable with that,” she declared.

Willing to end the controversy with the UFC, Werdum made a point of highlighting that all the protests against Reebok, UFC and even against Dana White were behind him. “Sometimes you have a fight with your wife, with a friend, it's normal life. Sometimes, you have a fight at work too. But nothing very important, small frictions. It’s all in the past,” he concluded.

Next fight and dream for the belt

In addition to returning to the role of commentator, Werdum still dreams of regaining the heavyweight belt. The gaucho will be in the main fight of the UFC London, March 17th, against the Russian Alexander Volkov. In case of victory, Fabrício should have the chance to face the winner of the fight between Stipe Miocic, current heavyweight champion, and Daniel Cormer for the title of the UFC's most noble division.
