Last Saturday, on the main card of UFC 213, former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum gave up a razor close decision to former Strikeforce champ Alistair Overeem<\/a>. This outcome was immediately controversial, as many members of the MMA Community argued that Werdum had done enough to win, and others argued the fight should have been a draw.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MMAFighting.com<\/a>, Werdum explained that he will be appealing this loss through the Nevada State Athletic Commission.<\/p>\n

\n

“The athletic commission gives us a chance to appeal, so I want to see what happens,\u201d Werdum said. “I have the right to appeal because I don\u2019t want this loss on my record. I\u2019m sure I won because I won the first and the third rounds, and lost the second one.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“When I lose a fight I admit it, but this one\u2026 The crowd booed him, I received a lot of messages. Everyone saw I won. You saw my face after the fight, I couldn\u2019t believe I lost. I was surprised.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Werdum also said he wouldn’t be opposed to a rematch with Overeem, who he has already fought three times.<\/p>\n

\n

“A fourth fight would be good if I appeal and it doesn\u2019t change the result,\u201d Werdum said. “My goal is the belt, and if he\u2019s in my way, I think it would be good to fight him a fourth time. I\u2019d like to fight him a fourth time to show the reality, what really happened. I believe I won. If it\u2019s worth it to fight a fourth time to get to what I want, the belt, that would be interesting, for him.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I always say that a loss it three steps back and a win is one step forward, but the way it was, I think it was only one step back. I believe I won, but the official result was a loss. I have a loss in my record.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
