Tungviktsmästaren i UFC, Fabricio ”Vai Cavalo” Werdum (20-5-1) har siktet inställt på att gå tre raka returmatcher i UFC mot Andrei ”The Pitbull” Arlovski, Junior ”Cigano” Dos Santos samt Cain Velasquez.
Tungviktsdivisionen i UFC är väldigt intressant för tillfället. Den nyblivne mästaren Fabricio ”Vai Cavalo” Werdum har flera potentiella utmanare härnäst och om brassen själv får välja vill han gå tre raka returmatcher. Werdum säger till MMA Fighting att han har ordningen klar i sitt huvud med. Först vill han möta Andrei ”The Pitbull” Arlovski eftersom han kan fightas tidigast. Därefter vill han hämnas sin förlust mot landsmannen Junior ”Cigano” Dos Santos och avsluta med att ta sig an Cain Velasquez:
”I would like to fight Arlovski because it was a close fight, a split decision, an ugly fight that nobody liked, and I think I won. Arlovski next might be a good idea. After that, ‘Cigano’. But I take step by step. The next step is Arlovski, and then ‘Cigano’. I fought ‘Minotauro’ again, did well and won, and now it’s the rematch with Arlovski. ‘Cigano’ would be cool. But I got to focus on Arlovski first because he’s a former UFC champion and this fight will sell well.
I talked about a rematch with Velasquez in respect. He was a great champion and did a lot for the sport, so I was being respectful. But then I thought about it, the way the fight went… When it’s a close fight, when there’s doubt, or when it’s a quick finish, you do an immediate rematch. But I did everything I was planning to do and then got him with that guillotine. People saw there’s no need for rematch now. It’s Arlovski now, ‘Cigano’ next, and then Velasquez again. That’s what I imagine. Cain will have to do one more fight, so I will fight Arlovski, Cain fights Miocic, and ‘Cigano’ is injured. That’s how I see it, but it’s up to them to earn it now”.
