Fabricio Werdum suffered a knockout loss at the hands of Alexander Volkov in the main event of UFC Fight Night 127 from the O2 Arena in London, England, on Saturday, but Werdum appears to be in good spirits following the brutal loss.

Volkov ended Werdum’s night in the fourth round after an otherwise solid performance from the former heavyweight champion.

The loss snapped a two-fight win streak for the Brazilian, who had beaten Walt Harris and Marcin Tybura before falling to the former Bellator heavyweight champion in Saturday night’s main event.

But the experienced vet won’t let it keep him down.

See what Werdum had to say following the devastating defeat:

Gostaria de agradecer a todos que torceram por mim, que me mandaram mensagens de apoio e que estão ao meu lado neste momento difícil que é uma derrota. Estou triste porém mantenho minha cabeça erguida com a certeza que a vida é feita e erros e acertos e que o mais importante desta trajetória é como a gente se levanta de um tombo. Eu tenho a sorte de ter a felicidade e a determinação no meu coração e ser rodeado de pessoas que me respeitam e que me dão a energia que eu preciso para continuar minha trajetória de sucesso. Obrigado pelo apoio e saiba que cada um de vocês é muito importante para mim! ???????????? I would like to thank everyone who cheered for me, who sent me messages of support and who are by my side in this difficult moment which is a defeat. I am sad but I keep my head up with the certainty that life is made and mistakes and correct and that the most important of this trajectory is how we rise from a fall. I am fortunate to have happiness and determination in my heart and to be surrounded by people who respect me and who give me the energy that I need to continue my path of success. Thanks for the support and know that each one of you is very important to me!

The knockout loss to Volkov marks the third time in Werdum’s career where he’s been finished by strikes. As for Volkov, the victory is his sixth win in a row, and he remains undefeated in the UFC since signing in 2016.

Are Werdum’s hopes for another shot at the belt totally lost at this point?

The main event of today’s (Sat., March 17, 2018) UFC Fight Night 127 from the O2 Arena in London, England, featured a somewhat shocking finish when the rising Alexander Volkov knocked out former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum in the fourth round.

It was a huge performance that put ‘Drago’ in contention for a potential title shot, but Werdum’s outside-the-cage enemy used the aftermath as an opportunity to troll “Vai Cavalo.”

Top welterweight Colby Covington has found himself in hot water with any and all Brazilian people when he called a Sao Paulo crowd “filthy animals” in the moments following his decision win over beloved countryman Demian Maia last October.

That lead to Werdum confronting Covington when the two were in Sydney, Australia, for last November’s UFC Sydney, with the much bigger Brazilian fighter throwing a boomerang at the brash 170-pounder and getting cited for it.

So as you could surmise, Covington was quite happy seeing Werdum knocked out in Great Britain:

In the co-main event of tonight’s (Sat. March 17, 2018) UFC Fight Night 127 from the O2 Arena in London, England, light heavyweights Jan Blachowicz and Jimi Manuwa went to war inside the Octagon. Manuwa came off of a nasty 42-second knockout loss to Volkon Oezdemir last summer.

Blachowicz has been on a two-fight win streak over names such as Devin Clark, who he managed to submit, and Jared Cannonier. The winner would likely propel themselves into possible title contention in a thin 205-pound division.

The first round saw Blachowicz come very close to finishing the fight as he managed to stun Manuwa and cause him to bleed very badly from his nose. “The Poster Boy,” however, was able to hang in and survive.

For the next several rounds the pair exchanged hard strikes and put on a performance the entire O2 Arena was on the edge of their seats for the entirety of the bout. When it was all said and done, the judges decided Blachowicz had done enough to earn the winning nod.

You can check out the full fight video highlights from the pair’s clash here below:
