Fabricio Werdum is known to crack some jokes, but one in particular was costly.
The former UFC heavyweight title holder spent some time holding an analyst position for the UFC Network. This network is aimed towards the Latin American audience. “Vai Cavalo” lost that position when he posted an image of himself wearing a Reebok kit, but the Nike logo was photoshopped on the gear.
There is an athletic outfitting program as a result of the partnership with Reebok and the UFC. During a recent appearance on “The MMA Hour,” Werdum said he hopes to speak with UFC President Dana White in an effort to get the job back:
“I want to go maybe next week to Las Vegas to talk with Dana White about everything. I have a lot of jokes in my Instagram and social media, I joke a lot, and Dana doesn’t understand me, maybe the joking is different in Brazil than in America. So I want to go there and talk to him, maybe joke with him and post too, you know. I’ve worked for the UFC a long time, and I’ve been an ambassador for Latin America, I’ve done a lot of good jobs in Mexico, work[ing] a lot for the Latin American fans. So I just want to go there, sit down, have a coffee, and be like, ‘hey, Dana, I’m 100 percent with the UFC, you know this.’ So yeah, just sit and talk is very important.”
