WHO: MMA Superstar Fabricio Werdum

WHAT: Interview on MMA LIVE tomorrow/Thursday on ESPN2

Fabricio Werdum will discuss his stunning upset victory over MMA legend Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko that shocked the world this past Saturday night at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif, live on SHOWTIME®. The historic first round (1:09) submission (triangle armbar) was the only legitimate loss of Fedor’s storied career during which the Russian has triumphed over nearly every major rival force in heavyweight division and reigned as the No. 1 pound for pound fighter on the planet.

The 32-year-old Werdum, a two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion and top-ranked heavyweight, added Fedor to his already impressive resume that includes wins over reigning STRIKEFORCE World Heavyweight Champion, Alistair “The Demolition Man” Overeem, as well as fellow superstars Antonio “Big Foot” Silva, Gabriel Gonzaga and Brandon “The Truth” Vera.

Werdum is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and member of Brazil’s vaunted Chute Boxe fight squad. He was born in Brazil, but now fights out of Marina del Rey, Calif.
