UFC on Fox 11: Werdum vs. Browne Pre-Fight Press Conference

On Thursday, April 17, the UFC hosted a pre-fight press conference for UFC on Fox 11: Werdum vs. Browne which takes place Saturday, April 19 from the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla.

In the night’s main event, former Strikeforce title challenger and world champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner Fabricio Werdum will battle towering Hawaiian Travis Browne for shot at the UFC heavyweight title. Werdum enters the contest riding a three-fight winning streak since his return to the promotion. The 36-year-old has been out of action since submitting Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira via armbar last June. Browne, meanwhile, also steps into the Octagon riding the momentum of a three-fight winning streak, with all three wins coming via first-round stoppage.

The night’s co-main event will feature former women’s bantamweight title challengers Miesha Tate and Liz Carmouche. Tate is still searching for her first UFC win. The former Strikeforce champion was stopped by Cat Zingano in her promotional debut and then succumbed to a trademark Ronda Rousey armbar at UFC 168 in December. For Carmouche, she’ll be looking to get back in the win column after dropping a decision to Alexis Davis in November. Like Tate, Carmouche also fell victim to a Rousey armbar in her promotional debut, but rebounded with a stoppage of Jessica Andrade in her second Octagon appearance.

The 13-fight event kicks off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET with three bouts streaming on the promotion’s digital network, UFC Fight Pass. Six additional preliminary card bouts follow on Fox Sports 1 at 5 p.m. ET, with the four-fight main card airing live on Fox at 8 p.m. ET.
