Heavyweight contender Fabricio Werdum picked up an impressive first round stoppage of Mike Russow this past weekend at UFC 147 and following the event he spoke to the media about the heavyweight division and possible match ups for his future:

“I'm not choosing. I'll be ready for any one of them. I can beat Overeem, Frank Mir, and I'll do my best to fight for the title. I believe I can beat my next opponent to go for the title.”

Werdum also discussed a potential rematch with Junior dos Santos who is now the UFC Heavyweight Champion:

“This is a different time now. I'm 100 percent professional. Back in that time, I wasn't. I'm sure now I would feel more confident than back then. Today, the fight would be totally different
