Submission! Fabricio Werdum vs Cain Velasquez full fight video highlights from UFC 188 last night

Fabricio Werdum is the undisputed Heavyweight champion of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), putting it on Cain Velasquez last night (Sat., June 13, 2015) in the main event of UFC 188 inside Arena Ciudad in Mexico City, Mexico, en route to a stunning third round submission victory.

Stunning because Werdum completely routed Velasquez on the feet, taking his best punch and responding with several more. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist was able to handle Velasquez's patented "in-your-face" pressure with solid clinch work along the cage and devastating short shots in zero space.

In fact, a knee to Velasquez's face dropped him and more or less signaled the beginning of his end.
