It was a different \u2018TUF.\u2019 We found new talent. And the important thing was that we were able to impart some of our knowledge and experience to all the participants. To spend so much time with Cain Velasquez was a nice thing. I think it\u2019s interesting for the fans to see that fighters can indeed spend time with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe trained hard,\u201d Werdum said. \u201cWe played a lot. There were excellent fights. And there are always athletes who aim to get into the UFC, while others are just happy to make it to the \u2018TUF\u2019 house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a bit of everything, like different personalities,\u201d he added. \u201cThere was some fighting and conflicts in the house. It\u2019s very interesting. (UFC President) Dana White loved this season. This season of \u2018TUF\u2019 will allow the fans in Latin America to understand our work. We are very dedicated and train very hard to fight in the octagon. I learned a lot from my fighters, and I thought them many things as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, it was excellent; I would do it again, no doubt.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The two coaches will collide at UFC 180 on November 15th in Mexico, in what has the potential to be the Fight Of The Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez just finished wrapping up the filming of the first season of TUF Latin America.
