Fabricio Werdum is no stranger to massive upsets and it showed at UFC 188. The 37-year-old is the undisputed heavyweight champion after defeating Cain Velasquez via third-round submission in the main event in Mexico City, Mexico.
Fox Sports UFC tweeted the result:

There was no love lost between the two fighters as both neglected to touch gloves. Instead they started exchanging leather in the pocket. While Velasquez was able to knock Werdum down with his standup, it quickly turned into a clinch battle with each fighter scoring takedowns that ultimately ended up back on the feet.
