Fighter Profile – Fabricio Werdum
Fabricio Werdum has had an up-and-down career, and he’s seeking redemption of a sort on Saturday as he faces Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers in Hoffman Estate, Illinois on primetime network television.
Werdum is 4-2 in his last six fights with losses to Junior Dos Santos and Andrei Arlovski, but the capable heavyweight also notched wins over Brandon Vera, Gabriel Gonzaga and Mike Kyle, so he’s clearly something more than a journeyman in MMA.
A two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion, two-time ADCC world heavyweight champion and European Jiu-Jitsu champion, Werdum has a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a Brown Belt in Judo.
He made his Strikeforce debut on August 15, 2009 with the win over Kyle.
