Travis Browne on UFC on FOX 11 loss to Fabricio Werdum: Sometimes ‘you catch an ass-whooping’

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

‘Hapa’ has been MIA since losing to Fabricio Werdum in the main event of UFC on FOX 11 a couple of weeks back, but took to Instagram on Monday afternoon to update fans on his recovery and what they can expect from him in the future.

“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!”

Interestingly, Browne did not mention any of the injuries that UFC President Dana White had suggested in the post-fight press conference.
