Twitter Reacts To Fabricio Werdum’s Shocking Win Over Cain Velasquez
The heavyweight championship belt changes hands last night (Saturday June 13th, 2015) in spectacular fashion. Interim title holder Fabricio Werdum battered and submitted the long time undisputed boss Cain Velasuez, scoring a highly unexpected finish over the proud Mexican champion on his home turf in Mexico City, Mexico.
Werdum shoots to the top of the stack with such a momentous win, and is already being pegged as the baddest man on the planet. ”Vai Cavalo’ proved himself to be the better fighter in the octagon last night, an act that very few believed he could pull off. Add Cain Velasquez to the list of fighters that Werdum has defeated from the position of heavy underdog.
Twitter had a meltdown in the immediate aftermath of the heavyweight championship bout, check it out and stay tuned to LowKickMMA!
That high altitude effected a lot of fighters performance tonight specially Melendez and Velasquez that's just my opinion… #UFC188

Taken aback by Cain Velasquez. Altitude definitely took a part, but not as much as Rogan thinks. Werdum was fire. #UFC188
