Strikeforce heavyweight submission machine, Fabricio Werdum has today admitted the UFC are the best following the recent buy-out of the California based MMA promotion before hinting a future return to the octagon could be on the cards in the next twelve months.Speaking via Tatame Magazine, Werdum said:
“Strikeforce was doing well, growing strongly, but let’s face the facts, the UFC is the best of the world, a stronger brand… You have to unit with the best. Now I can say, right? (laughs) Joe Silva told me to call him as soon as I was ‘free’, to call him to negotiate, but now we’re at the same home again (laughs).”
Werdum will go head-to-head with Strikeforce heavyweight champion, Alistair Overeem in June in a quarter final grand prix fight. Could we see a return to the octagon for Werdum win or lose against “The Reem” at some point in 2012?
