It’s not often a punch to the gut comes outside the cage for a guy such as Travis Browne.
But that’s precisely what happened when the 30-year-old Hawaiian received the news his UFC on FOX 4 opponent Ben Rothwell was forced off the Aug. 4 card due to injury and that there would be no replacement.
His disappointment didn’t last long. UFC officials tried their best to make it up to him by granting him his first headlining role.
