Fabricio Werdum willing to rematch Cain Velasquez in Las Vegas

Freshly minted UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum believes Cain Velasquez is deserving of a rematch.

Since dethroning heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez on Saturday night at UFC 188, MMA fans were 50/50 when it came to praising Werdum or criticizing Velasquez's deadbeat performance. The Brazilian battered Velasquez from pillar-to-post before locking up a guillotine choke in the third round to steal Cain's slab of heavyweight gold.

Despite Fabricio's stunning triumph, many were quick to point out Velasquez's labored approach on Saturday evening, with the former champ having a little less pep to his strikes.
