Although he has retired from mixed martial arts, former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum may not be done fighting just yet. At 45 years of age, the Brazilian wishes to follow the steps of many other former MMA fighters and try his hand at professional boxing.
Already training with the Brazilian Olympic team, Werdum explained to Combate how he would like to make his boxing debut. If possible, Fabricio would prefer to take on a fellow mixed martial artist, and at 45, he knows he cannot stick around for too long. For those reasons, ‘Vai Cavalo’ wants to have only a few bouts, but wishes to make them count.
