Stipe Miočić je postao šampion UFC-ove teške kategorije kada je nokautirao Fabricia Werduma pred 45 hiljada brazilaca na UFC198. Werdume ima jednu borbu pred sobom i to po treći put će se suočiti sa Alistair Overeemom u dosadašnjim borbama stoji 1-1 i videćemo ko će da pobedi ovog vikenda u Las Vegasu na UFC213.

Werdume bi želelo u slučaju pobede nad Overeemom da odradi revanš sa Miočićem i to opet pred domaćom publikom u istoj areni gde je izgubio taj pojas, on kaže da su ga emocije ponele u njihovom poslednjem dvoboju i da je to jedan od razloga zbog čega je došlo do nokauta.

Izjava Werduma za MMAFighting:




“After this fight, I want to fight for the title again.This is my big goal. When I fought in jiu-jitsu competition, with a gi, I got the world championship twice. With grappling, at ADCC, I got it twice, too. Now, I have one UFC championship. I want one more, (to make it) two-two-two. I like the numbers, you know?”

2With the Stipe Miocic fight, I was very emotional. I was very excited. It was in Brazil, in a stadium, 45,000 people were there. I lost my focus. I lost it. I had five rounds to beat him, and I went out there like a crazy (man). I respect Stipe Miocic, for sure, but that time in the fight I didn’t see what happened.

I ran in and he just countered, just touched my chin. Very smart, too. Maybe in the next one, there’ll be a big difference. I want to be patient. Because five rounds is a lot, 25 minutes. And he knocked me out in two minutes, I don’t know, but it was very quick. Why did I go out there like a crazy (man)?!”

U slučaju pobede nad Overeemom su velike šanse da ćemo imati prilike da vidimo taj revanš sa obzirom da ima jednu pobedu iza sebe i to nadTravis Browneom kojeg je pobedio jednoglasnom odlukom sudija.
