Ha, ha, haRound 1: Werdum enters in his gi, Fedor with his customary blank stare. Big John McCarthy tells them to get it on, and they circle each other in the center of the cage. Fedor clips Werdum in the fist punching exchange and the Brazilian topples backwards. Emelianenko jumps on him immediately and Werdum reaches for an armbar. Fedor escapes, but in his zeal to hit Werdum he gets caught up in a triangle choke. It's tight, and his head is visibly changing colors. Emelianenko can't pull out of it, and Werdum is also putting pressure on the arm. One light tap from Fedor, and it's over. Werdum leaps to his feet and runs screaming in joy to his corner.
Fabricio Werdum def. Fedor Emelianenko via submission (triangle choke/armbar) at 1:09 of round 1
And just like that, the aura of invincibility is shattered.
By: Ben FowlkesI was really a big Fedor fan up until he kept ducking all the good fighters and the fact that he disses the UFC fighters but does not want to fight any of them. So I find it kind of funny that he lost to Werdum and so fast at that. I guess Werdum is going to fight Overeem now? Maybe he will step up to the plate...
