UFC heavyweight Fabricio Werdum is on the cusp of earning a UFC title shot. He takes on fellow Brazilian and MMA legend Antionio Rodrigo Nogueira in the UFC on Fuel TV 10 main event on Saturday in hopes of moving one step closer to a title fight. The two have fought once before in Japan under the Pride FC banner. Nogueira won the fight by unanimous decision, but this time Werdum feels things are going to be much different. “I think this fight will be a lot different than our last fight in 2006. I was a newcomer, but Nogueira was already a champion in the event. He was already very famous in MMA. I was purely a jiu-jitsu fighter,” Werdum told UFC.com .
