Fabricio Werdum explained his decision to refuse to compete in the GFL league.
"The fight with Frank Mir was the fight that motivated me to come back. After he announced he was withdrawing from the fight, I lost my motivation too. I was preparing for the fight and the atmosphere in the gym was unbelievable. It was an amazing experience to come back and train again with the master Rafael Cordeira, Wanderlei Silva, Andre Dida, Bruno Ferreira and Bruno Silva, but I need motivation to come back and I lost it when the fight with Mir went down," the Brazilian said on the Mundo da Luta podcast.
