The defeat to Junior “Cigano” dos Santos at UFC 90 looks to have affected not only the plans of Fabrício Werdum, who used to dream of dispute the heavyweight title, but also his future in the organization. Notices propagated in American media say that UFC tried to renegotiate the contract with the ADCC and BJJ World Champion, but both wouldn’t have came to terms, that would have done Werdum break his contract.
“I am surprised with this notice. My sister is who negotiate with UFC and she always contacts me before make any decision and I only know that there was no contact with UFC and her. In my contract I still have more four fights which go until 2010. By the chronogram that they passed to me, I must fight in February, July, November and April of 2010. In fact, I am moving to United States because of the trainings with Rafael Cordeiro, aiming at UFC”, said Werdum, who is in Brazil setting the last details for his changing to United States even in December. |
