Fabricio Werdum appears poised to close the door on a legendary MMA career.
Werdum (24-9-1), a former UFC heavyweight champion, is seriously considering retirement from MMA competition after consistently competing since his debut in June 2002.
The 44-year-old hasn’t fought since May, where he fought to a no contest with Renan Fereira under the PFL banner. Werdum appeared to force his opponent to tap out with a choke, but when he released the submission and the referee didn’t wave it off, he absorbed some heavy strikes that knocked him out. He was originally declared the loser, but appealed the result, which was overturned.
