“There’s no possibility (of renewing my UFC contract). All those years with the UFC have been good. We had a good relationship. We disagreed sometimes, but those things happen in a normal relationship,” Fabricio Werdum said to AG Fight (via google translate).
“I’m thankful to the UFC for all these years. It’s practically where I made my career. I’ve always wanted to join the UFC and they gave me that opportunity twice. I was fired and asked to come back because I kept bothering them about it. But the cycle is over.
“Now I want to move on with my career. I want to do it my way. Maybe I’ll fight for a different company; I’ve fought for many of them; I want to have choices.
“This trajectory that I had in the UFC was very cool. It was a very good and happy moment. Twice champion. I beat Mark Hunt; then I beat Cain Velasquez. I don’t only count the victories (of course I don’t like to lose), but the defeats also made me grow a lot.
“This part as a commentator too, eight years ago as a commentator in Spanish. It was all part of my career. We had fights, arguments; we didn’t agree on some things; I was fired (laughs). But this has passed.”
