Fabricio Werdum made quick work of last-minute replacement Walt Harris at UFC 216: Ferguson vs. Lee on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
On Friday, Werdum had been expecting to step into the Octagon opposite Derrick Lewis, while Harris had expected to throw down with Marc Goddard on the early prelims. Those plans changed abruptly on Saturday when Lewis had to withdraw because of a lingering back injury that flared up.
It was a gigantic ask for Harris, who entered the fight with the No. 2 ranked heavyweight in the world after having expected to face an unranked Goddard just hours prior.
Harris tried, but stepping up in competition to the likes of Werdum was just too much to ask.
