Fabricio Werdum's nickname is Vai Cavalo, but perhaps it should be "The Legend Killer." On Saturday night at UFC 188, the 37-year-old knocked off another seemingly indestructible opponent and became the UFC's undisputed heavyweight champion. Werdum submitted Cain Velasquez in the third round in Mexico City in what will go down as one of the biggest wins in UFC history.
Back in 2010, Werdum also submitted mixed martial arts legend Fedor Emelianenko. Even with that huge win from his past, per Fox Sports: UFC on Twitter, Werdum acknowledged Saturday's victory was the pinnacle for him:
Werdum: This moment, today, is the best moment of my life #UFC188

Everyone knew Werdum was a superior Brazilian jiu-jitsu artist.
