Fabricio Werdum: Cain Velasquez rematch coming soon to a soccer stadium near you

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum did exactly what the promotion asked him to do. Namely, travel to hostile territory -- twice -- to battle local favorite Cain Velasquez in Mexico City for the 265-pound strap.
