Werdum has been out of action since 2018 after being handed a 2-year suspension for a failed USADA drug test. The 42-year-old veteran is focussed on returning to the Octagon in 2020 and has the intention of shocking the world with his performance upon his comeback.
Werdum stood firm on his innocence and is aching to fight again as soon as his suspension comes to an end.
Taking a cue from Henry Cejudo, Werdum believes that he should also be called ‘Triple C’ as he has been a champion in different disciplines of fighting.
Vai Cavalo last fought in March 2018 and lost via KO in the fourth round to Alexander Volkov. He was pulled up for a doping violation by the USADA and the substance he was flagged for was said to be trenbolone.
Werdum requested the UFC to grant him his release, however, Dana White and co. turned down the proposal and told the Brazilian to wrap up his existing contract.
Werdum (23-8-1) has two fights left on his current deal and will be eligible to fight again from May 2020.
