<p>No excuses from the heavyweight Hawaiian, just a promise to come back stronger.</p> <p>Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight contender Travis Browne finally broke his silence following his loss to Fabricio Werdum in the main event of UFC on FOX 11, which took place earlier this month (April 19, 2014) inside the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.</p>
<p>From his <a target="_blank" href="http://instagram.com/p/nV2ClBE-mm/">official Instagram account</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Thank you guys for the support!! I'll be back as soon as I'm all healed up. Learned a lot about myself in this fight and look forward to making the proper changes to move forward!"</p>

<p>Browne lost a unanimous decision to "Vai Cavalo" after five rounds of action. Despite a strong start, the Hawaiian was unable to overcome injuries suffered in his grueling 25-minute affair, and will now head to the back of the contender's line.</p>
<p>Right after he heals up <a target="_blank" href="http://Browne%20lost%20a%20unanimous%20decision%20to%20">these nasty boo boos</a>.</p>
<p>The good news is, "Hapa" is just 31 years old and likely entering his prime. Considering some of the names he's already added to his impressive resume, it probably wouldn't surprise anyone in the mixed martial arts (MMA) community to see him right back in the mix with a couple of quality wins.</p>
<p>But who do you want to see him face in his first fight back?</p>

<p>The numbers were released for the second Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) FOX show in 2014, which brought in 2.5 million viewers. UFC on FOX 11: "Werdum vs. Browne" was headlined by a title eliminator bout featuring Fabricio Werdum vs. Travis Browne. </p> <p>UFC on FOX 11: "Werdum vs. Browne" brought in 2.5 million viewers this past Saturday night (April 19, 2014), according to a report by <a href="http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/4/22/5641146/ufc-on-fox-11-does-2-5-million-viewers" target="_blank">MMA Fighting</a>, with an overall rating of 1.6. The main event saw Fabricio Werdum punish Travis Browne across five rounds for a unanimous decision win (super slo-mo highlights <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/23/5643278/ufc-fox-11-fight-motion-video-werdum-vs-browne-highlights-super-slow-phantom-cam-mma" target="_blank" style="background-color: #ffffff;">here</a>).</p>
<p>The show's viewership more or less matched the UFC on FOX 10 broadcast, where 2.55 million viewers watched <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/1/26/5346752/ufc-on-fox-10-results-recap-ben-henderson-vs-josh-thomson-fight-photos-gallery-chicago" target="_blank">Benson Henderson score a controversial victory against Josh Thomson</a>. Out of all UFC events taking place on FOX, it topped three previous cards.</p>
<p>The good news is, this show took place outside of NFL football season and it was the second highest rated -- and most viewed program -- out of the events shown when there wasn't a pigskin being thrown around.</p>
<p>The promotion should have been worried when the show went off the air, since the overnight viewership was just 1.9 million viewers, clocking in at the lowest it has ever done.</p>
<p>Then came the overrun.</p>
<p>3.3 million eyeballs caught the <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/21/5637088/trainer-cain-velasquez-not-afraid-to-go-to-ground-against-fabricio-werdum-mma" target="_blank">Werdum vs. Browne</a> headliner, making it the second highest watched program in the United States between the male demographic of 18-49, the first being the NBA playoffs.</p>
<p>The "Prelims" didn't do so well compared to the UFC on FOX 10 numbers (see them <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/1/7/5264330/ufc-ratings-2013-ppv-fox-sports-fx-fuel-tv-full-events-mma">here</a>), bringing in a rating of 0.49 and viewership of 521,000 viewers.</p>
<p>Still, it seems like the FOX deal has been a success with UFC, since the broadcast giant brings in more viewers than any other channel that has previously aired UFC events in the past year. FOX beats FX, FUEL, and even beat out FOX Sports 1 (and 2) when it comes to fans watching its events.</p>
<p>That's a wrap.</p>

<p>UFC on FOX 11: "Werdum vs. Browne" had several moments that are best viewed in super-slow motion. Check them out in the "Fight Motion" video -- also known as the "Phantom Cam" -- above.</p> <p>Travis Browne has a beard.</p>
<p>I mean aside from the scraggly Brillo pad hanging from his mandible, as evidenced by some of the <s>phantom cam</s> Fight Motion video highlights replayed in super-slow motion. There is a point toward the end of the video when "Hapa" takes four punches right to the kisser and eats them like a bowl of poi.</p>
<p>But toughness wasn't enough to <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632592/fabricio-werdum-vs-travis-browne-full-fight-video-highlights-online-ufc-on-fox-11">overcome the attack of Fabricio Werdum</a>, and it <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/20/5633628/dana-white-travis-browne-definitely-broken-hand-possible-busted-rib-ufc-fox-11-mma">left him with a couple of broken bones</a>.</p>
<p>Elsewhere on the card, Donald Cerrone was getting knocked around by Edson Barboza, until the jab of doom landed flush (watch it above) and gave "Cowboy" a chance to sneak in a submission (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632668/ufc-on-fox-11-bonuses-donald-cerrone-submission-banks-50k">which paid dividends</a>). In addition, <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632714/miesha-tate-vs-liz-carmouche-full-fight-video-highlights-online-from-ufc-on-fox-11">Miesha Tate pushed around Liz Carmouche for three rounds</a> (sort of) while Khabib Nurmagomedov out-grappled Pat Healy.</p>

<p>Miesha Tate isn't short of options after her win against Liz Carmouche at UFC on FOX 11 last Saturday night (April 19, 2014) in the co-main event. What's next for "Cupcake?" She already has a few ideas up her sleeve. </p> <p>Like the faux Jim Morrison said in Wayne's World 2: "If you book them, they will come."</p>
<p>Miesha Tate snapped a two-fight losing streak last weekend (Sat., April 19, 2014) at UFC on FOX 11: "Werdum vs. Browne," <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/20/5632656/ufc-fox-11-results-recap-miesha-tate-vs-liz-carmouche-fight-review-analysis-orlando-mma" target="_blank">defeating Liz Carmouche </a>by the skin of her teeth (highlights <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632714/miesha-tate-vs-liz-carmouche-full-fight-video-highlights-online-from-ufc-on-fox-11" target="_blank">here</a>).</p>
<p>The highly-marketable women's bantamweight veteran has not only acquired a larger fan base since losing to her bitter rival <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2013/12/29/5253310/ufc-168-ronda-rousey-reason-ignored-miesha-tate-handshake-womens-mma" target="_blank">Ronda Rousey at UFC 168 last December</a>, but she's also always down for a tough opponent in order to elevate her game.</p>
<p>Tate has fought a number of high-profile women's bantamweights in her career, facing tough opposition in the past such as Julie Kedzie, Cat Zingano, Marloes Coenen, Zoila Frausto Gurgel, and Sarah Kaufman.</p>
<p>According to Tate, <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/20/5632710/ufc-on-fox-11-results-recap-next-matches-to-make-main-card-winners-orlando-mma/in/5396313" target="_blank">a Sarah Kaufman rematch</a> of their first meeting at a Strikeforce Challengers card in 2009 would be enticing (via <a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/video/UFC?vid=3679bbb6-e87a-4f90-9ed7-0a183a7db73a" target="_blank">FOX Sports</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>"I think Sarah Kaufman would be a good fight. I lost that one in Strikeforce. How about Holly Holm? She wants to climb her way to the top, I'd be a great starting point."</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Tate succumbed to the Canadian by unanimous decision when they first met. As for Kaufman, she beat Leslie Smith in a rematch of their Invicta FC 5 bout earlier this week at <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/14/5612876/ufc-tuf-nations-finale-results-live-online-fight-stream-coverage-bisping-kennedy-quebec-mma" target="_blank">The Ultimate Fighter: "Nations" Finale in Quebec City</a>.</p>
<p>Holly Holm is an interesting fight for Tate, too, since the former pro boxing has been <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/7/5590780/holly-holm-focused-on-broken-arm-not-ufc-fight-against-ronda-rousey-mma" target="_blank">mulling over offers with her agent</a> after winning the Legacy FC women's bantamweight championship by tearing apart a few unfortunate foes.</p>
<p>Speaking of newcomers, the Washington native would also love to be the first competitor in front of Gina Carano if "Conviction" eventually signs with the promotion.</p>
<p>Rumored to be <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/3/14/5510680/ronda-rousey-willing-fight-gina-carano-at-145-pounds-but-not-cris-cyborg-mma" target="_blank">joining UFC once her Strikeforce contract expires</a>, Carano would be an entertaining option for Tate, and "Cupcake" expressed at the <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632404/ufc-fox-11-post-fight-press-conference-live-stream-video-online-werdum-browne-orlando-mma" target="_blank">UFC on FOX 11 post-fight press conference</a> that she would be more than willing to throw down:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><i>"I'd like it. I'll take that fight all day long, for sure. I mean, I'll fight anybody, but I'd love to fight Gina."</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>It's safe to say we'll be tuning in regardless of which proposed match up materializes.</p>

<p>Now that the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared, it's time to find out who's worse for the wear following the carnage at UFC on FOX 11 this past weekend in Orlando.</p> <p>The Florida State Athletic Commission (FSAC) on Sunday issued its list of injuries and medical suspensions for those fighters participating in the UFC on FOX 11 event, which took place last Saturday night (April 19, 2014) inside Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.</p>
<p>Not too bad, all things considered.</p>
<p>Most of the mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters competing on the FOX main card, as well as the FOX Sports 1 and Fight Pass "Prelims," escaped the "Sunshine State" no worse for the wear. Eight, however, will need to spend some time licking their wounds.</p>
<p>That includes Liz Carmouche, who was sat indefinitely for a rank wrist in her close decision loss to Miesha Tate (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632714/miesha-tate-vs-liz-carmouche-full-fight-video-highlights-online-from-ufc-on-fox-11" target="_blank">watch it</a>). Surprisingly, event headliner Travis Browne managed to escape with just a 90-day suspension, despite a broken nose, as well as a busted hand (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/21/5635980/pic-xray-of-travis-browne-broken-hand-ufc-on-fox-11-loss-fabricio-werdum-mma" target="_blank">pic</a>).</p>
<p>That's not all.</p>
<p>Here is the full list of UFC on FOX 11 medical suspensions (via <a href="http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/thread/2313070/Fox-11-med-suspensions-Three-out-indefinitely/?&page=1" target="_blank">The Underground</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Jack May</b>: Suspended indefinitely pending neurological clearance</p>
<p><b>Luke Zachrich</b>: Suspended 30 days</p>
<p><b>Esteven Payan</b>: Suspended 30 days</p>
<p><b>Thiago Alves</b>: Susepnded 21 days for right hematoma</p>
<p><b>Marsid Bektic</b>: Suspended 180 days pending facial CT clearance</p>
<p><b>Brad Tavares</b>: Suspended 45 days for supra orb part hairline</p>
<p><b>Liz Carmouche</b>: Suspended indefinitely pending orthopedist clearance for right wrist</p>
<p><b>Travis Browne</b>: Suspended 90 days for broken nose, cut over right eye</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Again, just a quick reminder: Fighters often return to action much quicker once doctors give them the green light. The lengthy suspensions are just a precaution in most cases. In addition, not all injuries are recorded during the post-fight examination and often times surface in follow-up tests, as was the case with Browne.</p>

<p>After an action-packed UFC on FOX 11 event from Orlando, Florida, plenty of fighters are still feeling the buzz; however, Travis Browne is likely suffering from the worst post-fight hangover after having his three-fight win streak snapped and title fight hopes dashed by Fabricio Werdum.</p> <p>Another weekend of fisticuffs has come and gone as UFC on FOX 11 blew the roof off the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.</p>
<p>Plenty of fighters were left licking their wounds, including Edson Barboza, who was submitted by Donald Cerrone in the very first round in a wild and entertaining scrap (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/20/5632790/submission-donald-cerrone-vs-edson-barboza-full-fight-video-highlights-online-youtube-mma">video</a>). And Liz Carmouche, who suffered her second straight loss, this time at the hands of Miesha Tate (<a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632714/miesha-tate-vs-liz-carmouche-full-fight-video-highlights-online-from-ufc-on-fox-11">highlights</a>).</p>
<p>But which fighter is suffering from the worst post-fight hangover, now 48 hours removed from the show?</p>
<p>Travis Browne.</p>
<p>The Hawaii-born fighter looked to nab his fourth consecutive win and earn his first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight title fight by defeating Fabricio Werdum in the televised headliner.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for "Hapa," Werdum was looking to do the same after reeling off three consecutive wins of his own.</p>
<p>And "Vai Cavalo" did what he set out to do, by doing what Browne does best, and that's win the stand-up battle. Yes, Werdum, the highly-decorated jiu-jitsu black belt, dominated the striking aspect of the fight (relive it <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/19/5632592/fabricio-werdum-vs-travis-browne-full-fight-video-highlights-online-ufc-on-fox-11">here</a>) against a man with the reputation of laying out the best of them with his hands.</p>
<p>For five rounds, Werdum picked "Hapa" apart, displaying an improved stand-up game that hasn't exactly been a secret since making his way back to the Octagon, as "Vai Cavalo" has shown that his striking is no longer his second option in a fight.</p>
<p>Thanks, Rafael Cordeiro.</p>
<p>In fact, the Brazilian bomber showed an overall improved mixed martial arts (MMA) game by dominating the grappling department as well, becoming the first person to take Browne down -- on more than one occasion -- inside the Octagon.</p>
<p>It's Werdum's well-rounded fight game, and visible confidence, that proved to be the difference in a fight that saw "Hapa" suffer a <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/20/5633628/dana-white-travis-browne-definitely-broken-hand-possible-busted-rib-ufc-fox-11-mma">broken hand and busted up rib</a>. Still, despite the injuries, which seemed to have occurred in the very first round, Browne sucked it up and made it through four more rounds, proving that his heart and desire to win is just as big as his wing span.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to weather the constant pressure Werdum was dishing out, as "Vai Cavalo" kept coming forward -- <a href="http://www.mmamania.com/2014/4/20/5632818/dana-white-video-interview-ufc-fox-11-werdum-safe-browne-weird-cerrone-tate-carmouche-mma">despite Dana White's belief </a> -- and tagging Browne at will, even mocking him from time-to-time. In the end, Werdum walked away the unanimous winner and with a date against current heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez later this year.</p>
<p>Lucky him.</p>
<p>As for Browne, he'll be forced to go back to the drawing board, heal from his injuries and start from scratch.</p>
<p>And when he's ready and able, a fight (and win) against the loser of the Junior dos Santos vs. Stipe Miocic 265-pound fight -- which goes down at The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 3 Finale on May 21, 2014 -- would be surefire was to speed up his climb back to title contention.</p>
<p>Unless, of course, you have a better idea?</p>
