I know, I know, this is a old news (since UFC80) but I just heard it, its quite surprising (for me at least) so FYI after the victory over Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 80, Fabricio Werdum (10-3-1) has been granted a heavyweight title shot. He’ll take on the winner of an interim title fight between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Tim Sylvia that headlines next month’s UFC 81
event.

According to Yahoo! Sports, UFC President Dana White has confirmed Werdum’s UFC upcoming shot at the belt during UFC 80.
