NEW YORK — It was the best night of his life as a mixed martial artist, so you might not be surprised to learn that Fabricio Werdum has spent many a night (and day) re-living his June victory over the legendary Fedor Emelianenko.

In fact, at a Wednesday press conference to publicize Saturday’s kickoff to the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, Werdum got one of the day’s biggest laughs when he responded to a question about how often he’s watched the victory.

“No joking, maybe 1,000 times,” he said. “No joke. I watch it all the time at home. I watch it on the internet. I like it. It’s good for me. I’m not joking. Really, 1,000 times, maybe more.”

My own list of the Top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts doesn’t include anyone outside the UFC, and I’m sure Dana White‘s list wouldn’t either. But when White was asked in Toronto on Wednesday to name the best pound-for-pound fighter he doesn’t have under contract, he named someone who had a 6-4 record inside the Octagon before leaving the promotion four years ago.

“The pound-for-pound best fighter outside the UFC? That’s a good question,” White said. “Probably Nick Diaz. Nick is nasty. Nick’s a tough kid and probably should be in the UFC, but he’s too crazy. He does crazy stuff.”
