You are always finding out little things here and there being involved in the fight game. The more and more you cover the game, the more human these athletes become. You begin to see the human side of them, and the insecurities and vulnerabilities they have. It makes you really wonder at times that they are just like you and I.
From learning that Georges St. Pierre loves the sistas, to Danny Castillo loving scotch if always amusing discovering these little things. Recently, we caught up with Fabricio Werdum and discovered the man is fluent in Spanish! Really random huh? Well it worked out for us, as Werdum is everyday working to improve his english, out fight correspondent Marcos Villegas is a fluent Spanish speaker. They chatted for a bit as Werdum revealed to him that he spent almost 8 years in Madrid, Spain with his family. He also happens to be a huge fan of soccer, which comes as no surprise given the fact that he is Brazilian.
He also made a bold claim, commenting that he would beat former UFC champion Brock Lesnar with out even punching him. “I would beat him without even landing a punch, with pure jiu-jitsu,” Said Werdum. He also believes that current UFC champion Cain Velasquez will be champion for a very long time and much more!
