Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne will meet again next Saturday (10) at UFC 203, an event that will take place this Saturday (10) at UFC 203, in Cleveland, in the United States. However, the rematch is far from being merely professional. At least not for Browne, who said he doesn't like Werdum's style, although he recognizes his rival's qualities.

“I'm not a fan of his. I think he jokes too much, he has no posture. But I have to respect him as a fighter and recognize his qualities. No one becomes a champion by chance”, said the boyfriend of Ronda Rousey to the website Combate.com.
Werdum and Browne faced each other for the first time in April 2014, in a fight won on points by the Brazilian after total control of the fight during the 25 minutes. Travis, however, stated that an injury prevented him from performing as planned, and assured that this time the result will be different: he will knock out the gaucho.
“Injuries really hurt me in that fight. I broke my hand in the first round, when I went to throw a punch. From then on, I was no longer the same. Afterwards I still felt my foot... But now I'm focused on what I have to do to win the fight. I’m going to get the knockout, that’s my goal” said the Hawaiian.
Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne have the second most important fight of the night, behind only the title fight between Stipe Miocic e alistair overeem. For Werdum, a victory could put him back in a fight for the title, while Browne needs a positive result to overcome the bad phase he is going through in his career.
