The last time I hung out with Travis Browne, we were cramped in a taxi in the Philippines, on our way to the airport to get back to California. Greg Jackson was also in the cab -- and he endured every Jon Jones joke Travis and I threw at him. Regardless of what jokes you have towards the UFC light heavyweight champion -- Travis Browne's are vastly better. I can't even repeat most of them on MiddleEasy -- the last thing we need is some attorney slapping us with a defamation lawsuit. Let's just say Travis Browne training at Jackson's MMA has enabled him to make very astute observations on Jon Jones' appearance. There, that's all you're going to get.

We caught up with the formerly undefeated UFC heavyweight a couple days ago and tried to get his take on what happened in his UFC on FX bout against Bigfoot Silva. Browne told us that Bigfoot Silva has a massive target on his back and that it's the only fight he's interested in.

Pretty sure Bigfoot punched him in the face and he went down. Sounds like Bigfoot beat him to me

Travis Browne found floating face down in an African river.

Is it just me or did Travis get a little frustrated at Arlovski for trying to steal his spotlight?

This guy is just eating up all the excuses greg jackson gives him.

He didnt beat himself he got stomped by Bigfoot.
Mayb Browne shouldnt employ greg jackson dance techniques during his fights

greg jackson tries to get all his fighters to be point fighters.

It's pretty sad how all Greg Jackson fighters get hated on simply for being a Greg Jackson fighter.

I don't necessarily like Greg Jackson, especially his knack for coaching his fighters into safe game plans that ruin the exciting aspect of the sport...but

Travis Browne is a hell of an athlete: especially one for the heavy weight division..and the dude can finish fights in spectacular fashion, so I'll be hyped to see him fight again no doubt

..whether fighting for Greg Jackson or not.

A healthy Travis Brown wins the re-match
You heard it here first.-

Dot like this guy for a few reasons.

1. He's attacked on Pat Barry for talking about his father at a military UFC event. barry is a really nice guy who in now way deserved that.

2. He has owned up to having been a bit of a street fighter/bully in his youth. At 6 foot 8, that's nasty.

3. Now he doesn't even take the loss like a man. He says HE beat himself in the fight - ummm nope. He got KO'd by Bigfoot fair and square.

4. He just generally seems nasty, calling people pussy's and having this really antagonistic attitude. He has a real bully persona.

I don't dislike that many fighters, but will be looking to derive some thrills from seeing this guy beaten in his next fight.

He is also the guy who says fighters shouldn't smoke weed so they can be rolemodels to the kids. What a dope.

That was actually the evil Travis Browne from a parallel dimension in a Bigfoot disguise that was punching Travis in that fight.

I would expect an MMA fighter to say that. He got KO'd after his injury. I think Big Foot would have beat him regardless, but I'm sure in his mind thats not the case. I think you have to be pretty stubborn or delusionally confident to really excel if you are a fighter..Other notable fighters that have said something similar BJ Penn, Nick Diaz, Rampage. Those guys are warriors. But their will to win is so large it casts a shadow over reality sometimes, and that's fine to an extent. Fighters need to be really confident and not gun shy, but there needs to be one foot planted in reality.
