Speaking via GracieMag.com, Werdum said:
“I fought Fedor last June and won and now I’m fighting in June again and am going to win again. June is my month! I have the same feeling as before, I have the same training camp, the same guys, and the same energy. I’m training with pro fighters, Babalu, Shogun, Munoz, Miller, and others. Krzysztof Soszynski’s conditioning system is amazing! I’m just spending my life training.”
“Everyone told me it wasn’t possible. But it’s what I’ve wanted. Everyone said that Strikeforce and UFC were two different shows so it wouldn’t happen, but now with the Strikeforce UFC deal, it’s possible. When I win the Strikeforce heavy weight belt, I’m going to ask Dana (White) if I can try for the unification belt.”
Werdum is of course coming off that shock win over Fedor Emelianenko last June but it will be a year since he has seen action by the time he steps into the cage with Overeem, something that could adversely affect his performance on the night. Stay tuned to MMABay in the coming weeks for more build-up to this one as we get it.
