UFC heavyweight contender Fabricio Werdum recently finished being a coach on the second season of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil opposite Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira . He has offered to do it again in Mexico opposite UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez . The Brazilian does UFC commentary in Spanish and could be a perfect fit for the job. “I mentioned about doing an Ultimate Fighter in Mexico. For those who don’t know, I am a commentator for the UFC in Spanish because I can speak in Spanish as a commentator because I lived many years in Spain,” said Werdum. “I gave the idea to the UFC about doing an Ultimate Fighter against Cain Velasquez in Mexico.” There’s one major hiccup in him coaching opposite Velasquez.

UFC on Fuel TV 10 Results: Leonardo Santos Upsets Patolino to Win TUF Brazil 2

Much like Kelvin Gastelum at the recent TUF 17 Finale, Leonardo Santos pulled off the upset at UFC on Fuel TV 10 in Fortaleza, Brazil, on Saturday night, winning the second season of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil. William “Patolino” Macario came into the fight the heavy favorite, which was no surprise considering his impressive performances on the reality show, and seeing as how Santos only made his way into the final as an injury replacement for Santiago Ponzinibbio, who defeated him in their semifinal match-up. Not many gave the 33-year-old, skinny jiu-jitsu fighter much of a chance, and in the opening round it looked like they might be right to think that way. Patolino manhandled Santos throughout most of the opening round, countering Santos’ strikes by clinching and powering him to the mat, landing some solid ground and pound throughout. The second stanza was a complete 180, however. As Patolino tired, Santos landed more of his strikes. He clinched Patolino and tried to trip him to the mat, but Patolino grabbed the fence, which forced Santos to the bottom as they landed. The referee, however, clearly saw the fence grab and restarted them standing in the middle of the Octagon
