Although he lost to Sergei Kharitonov in 2005, he advanced to the second stage of PRIDE Fighting Championships' Absolute Grand Prix, with an impressive submission victory over Dutch fighter Alistair Overeem. Werdum lost his next match, however, via unanimous decision to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at PRIDE-Critical Countdown Absolute on July 1, 2006.

Werdum is famous for having taken up Jiu-Jitsu after he embarrassingly got into a fight with his ex-girlfriends's new boyfriend, and fell victim to a triangle choke. His former coach "Maurição", was shot in Brazil a month before his last fight against Nogueira. Meanwhile he has been living between Madrid, Zagreb and Porto Alegre training hard for the next fighting Events.
