Strikeforce MMA: Fabricio Werdum Easily Submits Mike Kyle (8/15/2009 10:50:00 PM)
Filed under: StrikeforceFormer UFC heavyweight contender Fabricio Werdum won his first MMA fight in more than 14 months Saturday night, defeating Mike Kyle on the Strikeforce: Gina Carano vs. Cyborg undercard. For Werdum, the fight went exactly as he wanted it: He was able to secure an early takedown, got into good position on the ground, and caught Kyle in a guillotine, forcing him to tap. The first-round submission win was the first victory for Werdum since he beat Brandon Vera in June at UFC 85. Werdum, once considered a potential UFC heavyweight title contender, was dropped by the UFC after Junior dos Santos knocked him out in October at UFC 90. But while the UFC didn't think Werdum was good enough, there's no question that Werdum is a great Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner. Werdum is a real threat in a Strikeforce heavyweight division that also includes champion Alistair Overeem, top prospect Brett Rogers and, of course, the best fighter in the world, Fedor Emelianenko. "I'm so

Elliot Worsell, UFC - You'd figure sentimentality has no place in the mind of a 29-year-old fighter with the world well and truly at his bare feet. Recollections of yesterday and comparisons to the 'good old days' are ordinarily saved for the grizzled veterans of the world. Yet England's fast-rising Michael Bisping consulted his scrapbook on Saturday night as he emphatically destroyed Canada's Jason Day inside one round at UFC 85. It was a new Bisping to most - but the same old Bisping to the man himself.
