Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum changed his mind about hanging gloves on a nail.

“After Werdum announced his readiness to retire from the sport, the Brazilian decided to continue his career in the PFL. Werdum wants to perform on June 24th.

Manager Ali Abdelaziz confirmed this,” ESPN journalist Brett Okamoto tweeted.

44-year-old Werdum last fought in May last year at the PFL 3 tournament. The Brazilian's defeat was canceled after an appeal was filed with the New Jersey State Athletic Commission.
