Werdum isn't going anywhere........

During an interview with the Brazilian website Tatame, UFC heavyweight Fabricio Werdum announced that he has signed a new five-fight contract with the organization. Werdum also announced that he would be fighting at UFC 90 on October 25, most likely against UFC newcomer Junior "Cigano" dos Santos (6-1). In his new contract it states that if he's victorious in his next fight, he will receive a title shot at the UFC heavyweight title. Werdum had the following to say about his new deal:

"I wanna be the UFC heavyweight champion. A final (fight) against "Minotauro" (Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira) would be like a dream. It would be great for me because I fought against him [in] PRIDE, and it was a great fight. He deserved the victory."
