Fabricio Werdum
Even though Werdum’s armbar over Walt Harris is his last pick on the list, it still hold a lot of value.
Werdum was scheduled to fight Derrick Lewis at UFC 216, but things took an unexpected turn the day of the fight. Both Werdum and Lewis had gone through training camp, media day, weigh-ins, and face-offs – the fight was practically set.
However, the day of the fight Lewis had back complications and had to pull out of the bout. The UFC offered Werdum Harris, who was coming off two finishes, as a replacement, and with just hours notice, the Brazilian stepped up to the challenge. It stands as Werdum’s fastest career win.
“Against Walt Harris they changed the opponent last minute,” Werdum said. “I was going to the fight, I was leaving the hotel to the arena, and they called me telling me that I wasn’t going to fight who I was scheduled to fight.
“It was a fight that required me to have a strong head and I had to keep the mind sharp because the opponent changed last minute. And even then, I was able to grab an arm bar from a transition from the back mount.”
