Red-hot heavyweights Travis Browne and Fabricio Werdum are officially set to do battle at UFC on Fox 11 in April.
As the quintessential top contenders in the division, the winner of their showdown will more than likely challenge champion Cain Velasquez at the end of 2014 or the start of 2015.
Needless to say, this is a big opportunity for both fighters.
For Browne, a 31-year-old knockout specialist who is hellbent on solidifying his spot in the sport, a victory over an elite veteran like Werdum would be monumental.
For Werdum, an aging 36-year-old submission guru, a victory over a rising superstar would remind people that he’s still one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.
In any case, the Hawaiian and the Brazilian are going to wage unfathomable carnage when they meet inside the Octagon. Here’s an early head-to-toe breakdown of their matchup in Orlando.
