After a great debut in Strikeforce, Fabrício Werdum waits for an opponent for his next fight in the octagon. According to sources close to the fighters, the former UFC fighter will likely face the former EliteXC champion Antônio “Bigfoot” Silva in November 7 event. TATAME.com just learned the fight was agreed, and spoke with Werdum about the possibility.

“My manager called me asking if I agree to fight him, and I said yes and that I was ready, but I think this fight won’t happen anymore”, Werdum said. “He’ll probably fight for Sengoku’s title. Strikeforce made a partnership with Dream, so my manager said I can also fight in Japan, at Dream”.

UPDATE: TATAME.com spoke with Antonio Silva's manager, and the fight will likely happen. "I spoke with them and they said everything it's ok. I'm in Brazil and I don't know more about it, but I think it's gonna happen", Alex Davis revealed. Stay tuned at TATAME.com for more news about Strikeforce.
