Fabrico Werdum set up himself for a future heavyweight Strikeforce title shot at Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion absorbed heavy punches early to land on top in Kyle's guard. Kyle actually attempted a modified armbar attempt, but against a BJJ player like Werdum he essentially facilitated Werdum's eventual guard pass.
Kyle tried to stand after Werdum was on top, but opened his neck for the submission ace. Kyle initially fought the attempt, but was eventually forced to tap.
Werdum avoids what could've been a costly scenario for Strikeforce had he lost to Kyle. Werdum likely won't move any units going forward, but at least he has a strong performance and win to buttress support for a major fight with Fedor Emelianenko.
Fabrico Werdum defeats Mike Kyle via first round guillotine choke at 1:24 of the first.

That is what they call a pointless fight. Not even in the same weight class.

Congrats to Werdum for the comeback victory
He has been a the shelf for awhile since that loss and I’m sure this one is a relief.
LOL, the hate on the opponent. Like UFC provides great tune-up HW opponents. I can’t even name half those fucks they sign a month before the event.
Like that Dos Santos guy…
A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.
