UFC Fight Island results -- Fabricio Werdum, Khamzat Chimaev make statements

One of the greatest MMA heavyweights of all time might have departed from the UFC with quite the bang.

Fabricio Werdum, the legendary heavyweight ground artist and former UFC champ, finished Alexander Gustafsson by armbar submission at 2:30 of the first round Saturday on the main card of UFC Fight Night: Robert Whittaker vs. Darren Till on Abu Dhabi's Fight Island. It was Werdum's first win in three years -- and it came on the final fight of his UFC contract.

Gustafsson was returning from retirement and moving up to heavyweight for another run.
