Following Travis Browne’s KO defeat to Antonio Silva, trainer Greg Jackson tweeted that Browne had blown out his knee on the first high kick of the fight. Well … not quite. Browne went to the doctor today and he went to Twitter to clarify his injury. It’s not a blown knee thankfully, but it’s still a serious injury.

Well that’s a little different, don’t you think? Browne is still out for the rest of the year but it’s not the worst possible outcome of tearing a knee ligament and there’s no need for surgery. Hopefully he recovers well and is back in the Octagon as he looks to rebound from his first career loss.
