Fabricio Werdum: Last Time I Got Overeem's Left Arm, This Time the Right

Filed under: Strikeforce, FanHouse Exclusive

There are two days in Fabricio Werdum's life that stand out above all others in his mind, the Strikeforce heavyweight told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. One is the day his daughter was born. The other? Well, you can probably guess.

June 26, 2010. That was the day Werdum submitted MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko in the first round, handing the Russian his only true loss to date in MMA competition.

Since then, Werdum told Helwani, he's watched the fight maybe 500 times, picking up on new details with each viewing. And since locking on the submission early in the fight worked so well against Emelianenko, he's now focused on doing the same thing to Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem in the upcoming Strikeforce heavyweight tournament, and he doesn't care if the Dutchman knows it or not.
