Fabricio Werdum Is Looking To Finish Derrick Lewis on Mat at UFC 216

– Fabricio Werdum recently spoke with MMA Junkie about his UFC 216 fight with Derrick Lewis. Here are the highlights…

On Facing Derrick Lewis: “I think, I hope, I finish Derrick Lewis. I want to try to finish him on the ground.”

On How He Sees The Fights: “Normally when you lose, it’s like three steps down,” he said. “When you have one victory, it’s one step up. But this loss to Overeem, it’s a very small step down.”

On What a Win Means: “I think the next one is a title shot,” Werdum said. “I hope I get a very nice submission, and I go directly to a title shot, because Stipe Miocic hasn’t fought for a very long time, and it’s not good for the heavyweight division.”
