UFC 188: Fabricio Werdum on how losing to girlfriend's ex got him to where he is today

UFC heavyweight interim champion, Fabricio Werdum discusses how an impromptu BJJ match at the beach with his girlfriend's ex was the driving factor for him to get into martial arts.

This weekend, in Mexico City, UFC 188 will kick off and we'll finally get to see the two heavyweight belt holders, Cain Velasquez (current champion) and Fabricio Werdum (interim champion) do battle. It will be Velasquez' first foray in the Octagon since October 19, 2013. The two competitors have been on a press tour over the last couple weeks and Fabricio Werdum has charmed media outlets with funny quips and witticisms just about every time he does an interview.
