43-year-old Fabricio Werdum negotiating with PFL, sees himself fighting ‘two more years’

Former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum is still a free agent. After tapping out Alexander Gustafsson back in July, ‘Vai Cavalo’ completed his contract with the promotion and decided to test the open market. Although some negotiations with Bellator were initiated, it looks like the 43-year-old is headed in a different direction.

In an interview with Combate, Werdum revealed that talks with Bellator did not go as expected, which opened the path for Fabricio to consider another big promotion: the Professional Fighters League. Even though no contract has been yet signed, the seasoned veteran showed some interest in competing in the PFL’s heavyweight grand prix to score their one million dollar prize.
