The Werdum resume speaks for itself. His list of victims includes former UFC heavyweight title contender Gabriel Gonzaga (twice), 2003 ADCC winner John Olav Einemo , fellow Pride veteran Aleksander Emelianenko and the world-ranked Antonio Silva . Dos Santos, now one of the world’s premier heavyweights, remains the only man to finish him.

Werdum laughed at “The Axe Murderer’s” description of his sparring exploits and preferred not to discuss them further. Instead, he chose to highlight the philosophy present at Kings MMA.

“We spar really hard every time, and anything can happen in moments like those,” Werdum says. “One day, [Renato] ‘Babalu’ [Sobral] told me, ‘You don’t comment on training,’ and I never do. Wanderlei did, but it’s OK. It was a normal situation, nothing special.”

Cordeiro is the man in which Werdum has placed his trust.

“Rafael always asks us to give 100 percent of our energy on the sparring sessions, to make it feel like a fight,” he says. “We’re friends and we joke with each other, but training is serious. If we don’t make it serious, we don’t help each other.

World's Strangest | Five for Fighting

.

In 1942 five brothers made a sacrifice that showed just how much a family could give to the war effort.

PATRIOTIC FERVOR

January 3, 1942: After ringing in the New Year, the five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa, enlisted in the Navy. The brothers were George, 28; Francis, 27; Joseph, 24; Madison, 23; and Albert, 20.The brothers all joined the Navy, which (along with the rest of the military) discouraged family members from serving together in a highly dangerous area. It was not forbidden, though, and the brothers wanted to stay together. So they requested permission to serve on the same ship, the USS Juneau , a new light cruiser. It first took them to fight in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean, and then set off for Guadalcanal in September.

FIGHTING SPIRIT

The Battle of Guadalcanal was one of the most important fights of World War II. Japan wanted control of the island to build a strategic base, and U.S. and Allied forces waged a campaign to stop them. The entire battle lasted two months, and the USS Juneau limped along at a speed of 13 knots before it was hit again. The time, the torpedo split the cruiser in half; it sank almost immediately.

About 600 men on board were killed right away, including Francis, Joseph, Madison, and Albert Sullivan. The eldest brother, George, was severely wounded but made it into a lifeboat. More than 100 men from the Juneau radioed the sinking ship’s position and asked for aircraft assistance. Unfortunately, that message never reached its intended audience.

For a full week, the remaining servicemen had to fight exposure, exhaustion, and sharks. Many died from the wounds they had already suffered. Only three crowded lifeboats were available for the entire remaining crew, and sharks circled each of them, waiting for anyone to fall overboard.

George’s wounds were serious but not life-threatening. He might have made it, but was attacked by a shark when he attempted to quickly clean himself in the ocean. The last remaining Sullivan brother had perished. And by the time a rescue ship returned to the area, just 10 survivors remained.

Back in Waterloo, Iowa, the Sullivans’ parents did not know of their sons’ deaths. The U.S. military, in an effort to keep the Axis from knowing how much damage its forces had sustained, did not make the cruiser’s destruction public. The Sullivan parents suspected something was wrong only when they stopped receiving letters from their sons. They did not receive an official notice until January 12, 1943.
