UFC 180 Results: Fabricio Werdum Knocks Out Mark Hunt With Flying Knee To Win Interim Heavyweight Title

Results

Moments ago, Mark Hunt and Fabricio Werdum met tonight at UFC 180 in the UFC interim heavyweight title fight.

While Hunt almost knocked Werdum down in the first round with a right hand, the Brazilian recovered and Hunt was unable to finish him off despite attempt a flurry of punches (clearly his game plan).

In the second round, Hunt tried to land strikes again but left himself open for a devastating flying right knee from Werdum that landed on Hunt’s jaw and dropped him.

Werdum followed up with a series of punches and the fight was stopped.

Fabricio Werdum is now the UFC interim heavyweight champion and it appears likely that he will face off against Cain Velasquez next.
