UFC on FOX 11 in Tweets: Pros react to Werdum vs. Browne, Cerrone vs. Barboza, more - MMA Fighting
If you don't know by now, it's never a good idea to count out Fabricio Werdum. The man who dethroned Fedor Emelianenko pulled off yet another upset on Saturday night, outclassing Travis Browne to secure a lopsided unanimous decision win as a two-to-one underdog in UFC on FOX 11's main event.
While Werdum was assumed to be the better grappler of the two, it was actually the striking game that carried the Brazilian to victory. Werdum asserted his jab from the opening bell, then proceeded to dismantle Browne in a big way, battering the Hawaiian with an array of heavy punches and kicks to earn himself a date with destiny against UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez later this year in Mexico.
Of course, Werdum will be counted out there too (a sentiment a few of our pros already took the liberty of starting below). But that, as they say, is why they play the games -- because as we learned on June 26, 2010, anything can happen in this weird, wonderful sport.
