Fabricio Werdum wants to get back what he feels belongs to him — the UFC heavyweight championship.
But first, the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu phenom must beat Alistair Overeem in a trilogy bout at UFC 213. Werdum, 39, beat 'The Demolition Man' under the PRIDE banner in 2006 but lost in the rematch five years later in the Strikeforce hexagon.
'Vai Cavalo' lost the UFC heavyweight title to Stipe Miocic last year and believes a win over Overeem will solidify him as the next No. 1 title contender.
“After this fight, I want to fight for the title again,” Werdum told MMAjunkie in a recent interview.
