Former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum says talks of a rematch against Fedor Emelianenko are heating up.
Werdum shocked the world when he defeated Emelianenko by submission in 69-seconds in their Strikeforce fight back in 2010. “Vai Cavalo” became the first person to decisively defeat Fedor and end his lengthy win streak in the process.
Werdum (24-9-1) recently fought out of his UFC contract, defeating Alexander Gustafsson by submission in July. The Brazilian has been open to fighting elsewhere, and with Emelianenko currently under contract with Bellator MMA, Werdum could be heading there to rematch the Russian.
