UFC heavyweight champ Werdum wants Velasquez rematch in Brazilian soccer stadium

Fabricio Werdum would like to face Cain Velasquez in his hometown of Porto Alegre in a soccer stadium.

The immediate rematch Cain Velasquez was awarded against Fabricio Werdum came as a bit of a surprise to some since the Brazilian defeated the former champion very soundly in Mexico City. However, "Vai Cavalo" doesn't mind facing Velasquez one more time.

In fact, he already had a feeling it was coming since his coach warned him about the possibility. Werdum, of course, welcomes it, but this time around he would like to fight him in his hometown.
