Werdum: I can win even if no one believes in me
This weekend at UFC 188 in Mexico City, Fabricio Werdum will have that chance to prove himself, even if ‘no ones believes in me’ as he puts it.
Fabricio Werdum is the current interim heavyweight champion, a title that always seems to come with doubt as he didn’t beat the actual heavyweight champion to get it.
This weekend at UFC 188 in Mexico City, Werdum will have that chance to prove himself, even if ‘no ones believes in me’ as he recently stated:
Already with wins over legends Fedor Emelianenko and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, a win over Velasquez would give Werdum a strong case as one of the best heavyweights in MMA history.
Of course, I want to leave my mark on the sport, Werdum said. Of course, I want to leave a legacy. I want people to talk about how Werdum was the guy who defeated guys like Fedor Emelianenko, Cain Velasquez, Mark Hunt and ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira. I fight to be a winner. I enjoy my sport, my profession. I fight to win. I fight for myself and to show my fans that I can do it. It’s hard to find a job you always enjoy. Most people work jobs they don’t like because they need the money. I’m fortunate enough to work in something that I love. And to be remembered as a great champion is highly rewarding, to be recognized in that way. I want people to know I can win even if no one believes in me.
Fabricio Werdum fights Cain Velasquez for the undisputed heavyweight title this Saturday, June 13th, at UFC 188 in Mexico City, Mexico.
