Fabricio Werdum to appeal UFC 213 decision loss to Alistair Overeem

Fabricio Werdum doesn’t feel he lost to Alistair Overeem at UFC 213, and plans on doing something to change it.

The former UFC heavyweight champion came close to finishing Overeem in the third round of their co-main event bout in Las Vegas on Saturday, but that’s the only round judges scored in his favor. In the end, Overeem was declared the winner by majority decision.

The Brazilian now holds a 1-1 record after losing the UFC belt to Stipe Miocic in May 2016, but will file an appeal with the Nevada State Athletic Commission to overturn the decision loss.
