Hindsight - UFC London: Werdum vs. Volkov in retrospect
UFC London proved to be a highly entertaining event for those who took off their Saturday afternoon this past weekend. Though lacking much name value – Fabricio Werdum proved to be the most notable fighter – it wasn’t lacking in action. Two contests ended without a second to spare – literally – and a new heavyweight announced his arrival as a contender in a division desperate for new blood. It could even be argued an old hand at 205 made an announcement of his own, though the viability of Jan Blachowicz as a top tier light heavyweight is questionable. As for Alexander Volkov, his victory over Werdum proved to be his coming out party, much to the chagrin of the former champion.
