Fabricio Werdum is your new (interim) heavyweight champion after knocking out Mark Hunt in the second round of their main event showcase at last night's (Sat., Nov. 15, 2014) UFC 180 pay-per-view (PPV) at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City, Mexico. Yes, you read that right. Werdum, one of the very best submission specialists in the history of mixed martial arts, used a hard knee and a follow up onslaught of punches to TKO Hunt, a hard-headed, hard hitting brawler known for ruthless knockouts of his own. It was, perhaps, a fitting end to an improbable run for the former PRIDE heavyweight who was once thought to be a shot fighter with no future inside the Octagon. If nothing else, it was really fun while it lasted and Werdum, despite playing the role of spoiler, continues to make a somewhat improbable rise through the ranks of his own. Heavyweight MMA is fun!
