Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum The heavyweight title rematch between Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez was previously announced for next year, and now the bout has a targeted month and location. Velasquez (13-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) says the plan appears to be to meet champ Werdum (20-5-1 MMA, 8-2 UFC) – whom he lost to in the UFC 188 main event in June, at a March event located in Brazil. Velasquez, who will attempt to claim the heavyweight belt for the third time, revealed the information during a fan Q&A prior to today’s UFC 192 weigh-ins in Houston. “Now we’re hearing March in Brazil, so I’m happy about that,” Velasquez told MMAjunkie. “I’m looking to move on, so I’m just happy to get the rematch and that’s it.” Werdum is riding a six-fight winning streak, all since he returned to the UFC in February 2012 after a four-fight run in Strikeforce
