Despite the 50/50 run, Werdum feels his exit from the company wasn't exactly handled with as much respect as he would have liked. The now revived heavyweight contender told PVT Mag that he felt used by the UFC. “They kind of used me and threw me out. That UFC business is complicated," Werdum said to the Brazilian publication.
He continued, "It’s tough to swallow that they would terminate your contract after two nice wins just because you lost the last one, regardless of how it happened. Business is business, it seems, and there’s no soft spots involved. That’s how it works - if they don’t like it, you’re out."
Werdum concluded, "Naturally there’s a little resentment, but since we must be professional with everyone, I can’t take it personally. If that’s the road you choose, you could get in trouble so it’s best to stay professional.”
