Fabricio Werdum ~ Honored To Be Part Of History Werdum_vs_Gonzaga
Just days away from watching the world’s #1 ranked heavyweight (Fedor Emelianenko) take on one of the world’s most destructive up-and-coming heavyweights (Brett Rogers) on CBS, Strikeforce has another pivotal heavyweight bout on the same card. Although the bout between Antonio Silva and Fabricio Werdum may not be as lauded or talked about as the network's televised main event, but his fight has all the makings of the fight of the night.

Fabricio ‘Vai Cavalo’ Werdum’s journey to prime time television has not been smooth or without doubters. The 12-4-1 Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist says that he feels no added pressure appearing in front of millions of viewers, “I treat every fight as though it is the biggest fight of my career. Of course I want to impress the fans, Strikeforce, CBS, and M-1 Global. I have fought in many big shows before, both in the U.S. and in Japan. I am honored, however, that I have been given the opportunity to participate in this historic event for organizations with the prestige of Strikeforce and M-1 Global.”

“Training went great. I have been training virtually non-stop since my Strikeforce debut. Since after beating Mike Kyle, I went straight into training for Abu Dhabi,” said the winner of this years ADCC +99kg title, Werdum, about preparing for Antonio Silva (12-1). “Silva is no different than the others, other than the size of his head. I think it’s a great match up. My stand up is underrated and his is decent. But there shouldn’t be any question as to who is better on the ground. We are the same height [6’4”]. He weighs a little bit more than me. All that means is that he will fall harder.”

Even if he is awarded the next title shot, he has doubts that he will ever face the current champion, “I really don’t think Alistair will agree to fight me; unless it is in a jurisdiction that does not drug test.”

This is not meant to disrespect them, and although they are excellent fighters, they are newcomers.” When asked to assess Brock Lesnar’s ability and rise to the top of the UFC ladder, Werdum simply stated, “Brock sells tickets.”

Although Werdum has just one fight remaining on his Strikeforce contract after Saturday night, he does not seem to be looking to his next contract as much as he is looking to accomplish his goals in the sport, “Promoters are in the business to make money, not hand it out. So a contract is a contract.
