Fabricio Werdum wants commentary job back: ‘UFC doesn’t understand’ anti-Reebok post was ‘a joke’

American fans may not have been aware, but not long ago, Fabricio Werdum was a notable part of the UFC commentary team. The former heavyweight champion was the key man in the booth for the UFC’s Spanish language broadcasts on their Latin America targeted UFC Network. Right up until he put his foot in it, at least.

Back in October of 2016, Werdum made a post on Instagram declaring that he wasn’t “generic” and had been team Nike from childhood. The post was accompanied by a picture of in a Reebok shirt with a shopped Nike logo on it.
