His manager hinted at it, and now it looks as if Fabrico Werdum will part ways with the UFC after a two-year USADA suspension.

The former champion has now officially confirmed that he has in fact requested his release from the promotion.

”My idea is to do the right thing, which would be rescind my contract with the UFC,” Werdum said. “Ali is a manager that defends us really well. He has a lot of famous fighters. Many people. And to me he’s the best manager right now, the one with the best direct contact with the UFC.” (via MMA Fighting)

In September 2018, Werdum received a two-year suspension from USADA after testing positive for an anabolic steroid trenbolone and its metabolite epitrenbolone.

Because of the positive test, Werdum was forced out of his bout against Alexey Oleynik in Moscow, Russia.

He will be eigible to return to the Octagon in May of 2020. However, “Vai Cavalo” has other ideas.

”What I would really like right now is to be free, that the UFC would have consideration with me and release me,” Werdum said. “It’s a matter of Ali talking with (White) now. Ali really has a good friendship with Dana White. It’s not only up to Dana. They always say that, and I go talk to someone else and they say it’s not only up to them as well, it’s that game. I obviously love fighting in the UFC. But after this (situation), this unfair doping, I would like to fight in other promotions.”

Werdum even offered up a creative solution to the matter.

”I already told the UFC, I’ll sign a term that I would not fight in the United States anymore,” Werdum said. “I’d fight overseas, Japan, Russia, Europe, wherever, but I wouldn’t fight in the United States to cause no harm. I would sign that to be released. I just want to be free to do what I want, which is fight. It’s not about money. I still have a lot to show. I’m 41, but I feel like a kid.”

Werdum Says Dos Anjos Should Have Slapped McGregor At UFC 197 Press Conference

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AQ7dlmZIFU

Fabricio Werdum wasn’t impressed with Conor McGregor at the UFC 197 press conference, and says that if he were Rafael dos Anjos, he would have slapped McGregor.

“When the guys had questions for Rafael, he talked at the same time. This is not good. If I’m there, if my opponents said that, I’d grab the water or the juice and (motions to throw it on them) — 100 percent, or I’m going to say (slap) ‘Be quiet!’ It’s a different personality,” Werdum told media members at a luncheon on Thursday.

“When you talk too much, and after you not show inside the cage, this is bad,” Werdum said. “This is not good. Like, Chael Sonnen. Chael Sonnen talked a lot, a lot of things before, and then showed nothing inside the cage.

“Conor McGregor, he talked too much, but after that he showed but this time he’s wrong because it’s a different division. When he feels Rafael dos Anjos’ hands, it’s so different.”

Werdum was scheduled to face Cain Velasquez in the main event of UFC 196, but Velasquez pulled out due to a back injury, and Werdum didn’t want to face a replacement opponent, so neither men will be at the show.

UFC 196 takes place on February 6th in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. We will have live round-by-round coverage of the event right here on MMANews.com.
