The opportunity for which Fabricio Werdum has waited his entire MMA career has arrived.
Werdum will meet Cain Velasquez for the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title in the UFC 188 main event on Saturday at the Mexico City Arena in Mexico City. It represents the Brazilian’s chance to prove himself as the sport’s true No. 1 heavyweight.
In order to adapt to Mexico City’s climate and elevation, Werdum shifted his training camp from Los Angeles to Salazar, Mexico, a city located roughly 60 miles from the venue.
