As great as it was for Fabricio Werdum to avenge a loss and topple his idol at UFC on Fuel TV 10 in Fortaleza, Brazil, on Saturday night, beating Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira still didn’t rank as the highest accomplishment of his mixed martial arts career. That position is still reserved for Werdum’s victory over Fedor Emelianenko when the two fought under the Strikeforce banner. “It was definitely Fedor,” Werdum said at Saturday night’s press conference. He fought just one more time for Strikeforce following the win over Fedor . He lost a unanimous decision to Alistair Overeem in what proved to be lackluster efforts from both men. Werdum immediately rebounded when he moved to the UFC , reeling off victories over Roy Nelson and Mike Russow en route to his rematch with Nogueira. Now he is in the thick of UFC heavyweight title talk.
