UFC London: Fabricio Werdum swings chair at Alexander Volkov during heavyweight weigh-in
The former world champ looked in good spirits ahead of his heavyweight clash against his Russian opponent at the O2 Arena
FABRICIO WERDUM entertained fans at the UFC London weigh-in as he jokingly swung a chair at Alexander Volkov.
The former world champ looked in good spirits ahead of his heavyweight clash against his Russian opponent at the O2 Arena.
The Brazilian picks up the foldaway chair and lunges towards his former training partner in what looks to be a WWE-style attack.
As Volkov takes a stance ready for a fight, Werdum stops and opens up the chair in front of him.
He then stands on it for the face-to-face against Volkov, who usually towers over him.
Werdum then confirms it was all a laugh as he turns to the cameras and gives them a cheeky smile.
