Fabricio Werdum: “Before the fight with Oleinik, I didn’t have the opportunity to train properly”

Former UFC Champion Fabricio Werdum (23-9-1) spoke about his preparation for the upcoming fight with Alexander Gustafsson (18-6).

“The pandemic continues, so I wanted to fight as soon as possible to stay in rhythm, and I have been away for too long. I am already 42 years old, I want to perform as often as possible, my retirement is not far off.

Before the last fight, I didn’t have the opportunity to train properly. I have never had a situation before that I didn’t spar before a fight, so I realized that online training didn’t work.

This time I did a full preparation. There was an opportunity to spar, do jiu-jitsu and physical training, which is very important for me. So this time I had a full-fledged camp, ”said Werdum.

I’m an osteopath based in Solihull, and a former professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter. For those who follow these things, I was the first British man to compete in the UFC. These days I still train and coach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but I spend more time putting people back together than taking them apart. When I’m not doing that, I’m often to be found climbing or lifting heavy things.
