Fabricio Werdum wants Stipe Miocic championship rematch at UFC 200 in July
16.05.2016
Instant rematches are usually reserved for fights the end in controversial fashion — or for Conor McGregor simply because he\’s Conor McGregor– be it a highly-questionable judges decision or a bout that ends up being a thrilling back-and-forth affair.
Fabricio Werdum\’s beatdown at the hands of Stipe Miocic at last night\’s (Sat., May 14, 2016) UFC 198 event in Curitiba, Brazil was neither, as “Vai Cavalo” was cleanly knocked out by the American with a single punch in the very first round (see it again here).
Nevertheless, Werdum seems to think he warrants an instant do-over in order to attempt to reclaim his Heavyweight title.
At least that\’s what “Vai Cavalo” stated during his backstage interview,
Not a strong enough case if you ask me, for the simple reason that it was Fabricio\’s first-ever attempt to defend his strap, so it\’s not like he was a long-standing champion; which is usually another cause for instant do-over\’s.
