UFC 188: 'Velasquez vs Werdum,' The Report Card

How silly does Dana White feel right now, seven years after cutting Fabricio Werdum after suffering a flash knockout to the only other dude to ever stop Cain Velasquez?

I'm guessing it's probably as silly as everybody else feels after writing off "Vai Cavalo" (don't try pronouncing that Mike Goldberg, you're brutal) following a butt scooting stinker against Alistair Overeem in Strikeforce. My, how fortunes have been reversed.

On June 18, 2011, when Werdum lost the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Quarterfinal, Velasquez was an undefeated (9-0) monster who had just put Brock Lesnar in a body bag.
