Fabricio Werdum is putting his belt up for grabs again as he faces off against former champion Cain Velasquez at the main event of UFC 196 on Feb. 6 in Las Vegas.
The new fight was confirmed on “UFC Tonight” on Wednesday.
Werdum defeated Velasquez back in June with a guillotine choke, becoming UFC champ for the first time in his career.
UFC 196 goes down Feb. 6 with more bouts to be announced in the coming weeks.
