The Ultimate Fighter : Velasquez vs Werdum.

The UFC Heavy Weight contender Fabricio Werdum, has recently finished his work as a trainer in the second season of the ultimate fighter Brazil against Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira; And he is already offering to do it again in Mexico against the UFC HW champion Cain Velasquez.

The brazilian would be perfect for the job.

“I’m talking about making an ultimate fighter in Mexico, for those who don’t know I’m a “UFC en Español” commentator, I can speak Spanish because I lived for many years in Spain”, Werdum said. So I give the idea to the UFC of making TUF against Velasquez in Mexico.
But there is an important setback in my fighting with Velasquez, I don’t know if he will beat Junior. It’s going to be a great fight, said.

Velasquez and Dos Santos will fight for the third time at the end of this year.

They fought in November 12 of 2011 on the UFC debut on Fox, when Junior Dos Santos knocked Cain Velasquez out, in a little more than a minute of the first round.

Later at UFC 155, in a rematch, Velasquez took his revenge by dominating Dos Santos for five rounds.

The next step in Werdum’s professional career depends in the result of the trilogy.

I’ll be there watching the fight. I have to wait for both to fight, said the 35 year old fighter.

Werdum haven’t fought in almost a year, before his fight against Nogueira on UFC on Fuel TV 10 the past June 8. He doesn’t want to stay inactive again for a long period of time, but he will, if he fights for the belt at the end.

I have been away for a year making the ultimate fighter in Brazil and that is the reason I don’t want that to happen again, but if the UFC tells me to hold on to make the ultimate fighter and then fight for the title, I would definitely wait. And I will be working hard for it, he said.

Werdum’s reasons are not just entirely about fighting for the title, he also thinks there are not enough MMA in Latin America.

“I think it’s a great idea to be capable of showing a little bit of our sport in Latin America because of the lack of this sport”, the HW contender told us.
“And it’ll be something good to have the audience, because it’s easy if they like it. We need to go after the people who don’t know our sport”.

Mark Hunt - Has his time run up?

Once upon a time, Mark Hunt was as legendary as it gets, but after his last fight with Junior Dos Santos, has his time run up?

Mark Hunt was once a K1 Champion and was kicking people's faces off before most us even knew what MMA and UFC was. Even once he entered the MMA scene with PRIDE, he was still destroying his opponents and taking down some of the best guys in the sport during those days. One of those guys being Wanderlei Silva after his 4 year undefeated winning streak.

Things got a little dicey after his impressive start in PRIDE.  Starting in 2006, he started losing a lot and it was killing his career.

Then everything changed. The UFC was making strides and Dana White bought PRIDE out and gave Mark an opportunity that he might be regretting now: the opportunity to quit MMA but still get paid. He told Dana no, he wanted to earn it; A noble decision driven by his warrior spirit and his passion for martial arts. Unfortunately, Mark lost his UFC debut against Sean McCorkle. After that fight though, in an incredible turn of events, he won his next four fights and became a contender pretty much "overnight".

May 25, 2013 came and he found himself in the ring versus Junior Dos Santos on short notice. After the usual Bruce Buffer introduction and fighter handshakes, they went to war. Mark started off great landing some shots but slowly got tired. After 14 minutes of intense fighting, Junior Dos Santos scored with an incredible spinning wheel kick that had Hunt down for the count. Probably just as bad, it was revealed that Hunt had a broken toe since the first round.

Normally, this loss and injury wouldn't be a big deal as it just takes a bit of time to recover and then "re-fight" his way to the top again, but there is no time. Mark is 39 years old, which is almost ancient in MMA, and he isn't getting any younger. The question is now, is it all over for the once dangerous Mark Hunt?

In my honest opinion, I think he is done, but there is a part of me that says there is still a small window of hope. I think he knows this as well. After he recovers from his injury, he will have an uphill battle but is blessed with a thin division. With just a couple more wins, he can get back to the top and reach his goal of becoming a UFC champion. He might have to face Roy Nelson or some of the other tough options, but at 39 years old the clock is ticking. Once he comes back, he doesn't have any time to waste and must be near perfect. It will be tough, but it is possible.

Dana White once said that he doesn't tell anybody to retire, but if the fighter has it in his mind, then he should. Mark Hunt so far does not, so he will probably go on and give it all he has.
