If there was any doubt left that Fabricio Werdum is on the rise and well on his way to a heavyweight title shot and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is on the decline, both were emphatically erased tonight (Sat., June 8, 2013) when the former forced the latter to verbally submit with an armbar in the second round of their heavyweight bout in the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 10 at the Paulo Sarasates Arena in Fortaleza, Brazil. Put simply, Werdum was the better all around fighter, exactly what he claimed he would be while attempting to convince any reporter with a microphone that he was going to win this rematch. Now that he has, he's likely only one more win away from fighting for the division title. There's no telling what's next for Nogueira, however, who isn't getting any younger and is now getting beaten at his own game. Stay tuned.
