Heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum (20-5-1 MMA) defeated Cain Velasquez (13-2 MMA) at UFC 188 in June at Mexico City, Mexico. Werdum is on a six fight win streak after suffering a loss to Alistair Overeem four years ago with Strikeforce at a Grand Prix quarterfinal. The Kings MMA champion discusses his future plans after a rematch with Velasquez in either February or March. Hopefully, with a February rematch, that might give Werdum or Velasquez enough time to prepare for a June 2nd UFC 200 event in Vegas with former champ Jon “Bones” Jones.

Enter the Irishman, Conor “The Notorious” McGregor from Dublin, Ireland.  McGregor is on a 14 fight win streak with 13 of those wins by TKO, KO and one submission finish three years ago.
