In the main event of last night’s (Sat. November 18, 2017) UFC Sydney event from Australia, ex-UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum took on Marcin Tybura.

Werdum came in losing two of his last four fights; dropping his heavyweight title to Stipe Miocic with a devastating knockout, losing a Majority Decision to Alistair Overeem. “Vai Cavalo” also took home a unanimous decision win over Travis Browne and steamrolled Walt Harris with a quick armbar just last month (October 7th).

Tybura had won three-straight fights over the likes of Viktor Pesta, Luis Henrique, and Andrei Arlovski. With a potential win over Werdum the Poland native will have solidified himself as a legitimate threat to the heavyweight throne.

Werdum and Tybura surprisingly went all five rounds inside the Octagon, with a few submission scares from “Vai Cavalo” and each man putting up their fair share of big shots – the Brazilian took home a lopsided unanimous decision win. Now he refocuses his attention on getting the UFC heavyweight title back around his waist.

UFC Fight Night 121 went down tonight (Saturday, November 18, 2017) from the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. The main event featured former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum battling up-and-comer Marcin Tybura. Surprisingly, the heavyweights went the full five rounds in a fairly high-paced striking affair. Werdum swept the scorecards with a higher volume of kicks and punches and nasty clinch game. Tybura had his best moments in the final round, when he landed several head kicks, the first of which seemed to buckle Werdum’s legs for a moment. But it wasn’t enough to get the finish he needed, and Werdum took home a unanimous decision.

The co-headliner was an odd one, as Bec Rawlings moved up to flyweight and welcomed Jessica Rose-Clark to the Octagon. The two strawweights slugged it out and traded takedowns. The fight was a close one (one of four split decisions, and three straight on the main card), but it was the newcomer “Jessy Jess” who got her hand raised at the end of the night.
