Travis Browne Responds To Michael Page Trolling Ronda Rousey

The post Travis Browne Responds To Michael Page Trolling Ronda Rousey appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Since last Friday’s (December 30) UFC 207, the internet has once again exploded with Ronda Rousey mania. After a year away from the octagon, ‘Rowdy’ attempted to make a big comeback against Amanda Nunes. As it turned out, the previously dominant star bit off more than she could chew. Taking care of business in 48 seconds, ‘The Lioness’ left Rousey with two straight losses and some decisions to make. Having already discussed retirement before UFC 207, Rousey’s future as a fighter is now potentially over.

When all is said and done, ‘Rowdy’s’ accomplishments in the octagon can never be erased. This did not stop the internet from reacting to UFC 207 with a barrage of brutal memes, though. Taking it to a whole new level this time, social media is still gushing, awash with memes and gifs of Rousey’s latest defeat. One particular troll job came from a fellow fighter in Michael ‘Venom’ Page. Releasing a video of himself dancing and mocking Rousey, the Bellator welterweight showed it’s not only fans who can be somewhat harsh.

Travis Browne Responds

UFC heavyweight and boyfriend of Rousey, Travis Browne is not amused by Page’s antics. Given the nature of the former champion’s difficulties after the Holm loss at UFC 193, this comes as no surprise. Taking to his Twitter account, ‘Hapa’ ‘tweeted & deleted’ this fight challenge to Page:

Catchweight?

It seems Ronda Rousey’s latest return has everybody talking about the sport again. Although she was out of the media all year, including during the pre-fight, ‘Rowdy’ continues to dominate the headlines. Did the UFC rush their biggest star’s comeback? Perhaps so, ultimately she may have been better served taking a ‘tune up’ fight before challenging Nunes. Props to WMMARankings for picking up the Tweet before it got taken down.

Final thoughts-did Michael Page go too far with his latest antics?

Travis Browne Says Derrick Lewis Turned Their UFC 208 Fight “Personal”

Heavyweights Travis Browne and Derrick Lewis will meet at UFC 208 in February in a key contest for the division.

Browne has put himself up against the best of the best, while Lewis is ascending his way up the ladder.

When Lewis recently earned another victory, he called out Browne for a future date. That bothered Browne, as he explained to ESPN.

“He’s looking up and down the top 10 for the easiest fight and choosing my name,” Browne said. “I don’t know how much more personal it gets than that. I’m not usually one to talk trash, and I do respect him as a fighter, but you want to test yourself, buddy? I’m your man. I’ll show you what this (expletive) is all about up here.”

Browne, 34 years old, has dropped three of his last four and is just 2-4 over his last six. All four defeats, though, have come at the hands of former UFC heavyweight champions in Cain Velasquez, Andrei Arlovski and Fabricio Werdum (twice). He started out his run 16-1-1 overall, including wins vs. Josh Barnett and Alistair Overeem.

For Lewis, this is a chance to cement his place as a top contender. He has won five in a row, including four finishes, to improve his record to 17-4. However, the only notable name during that stretch that Lewis faced was Roy Nelson.

UFC 208 takes place February 11 from Brooklyn and the Barclays Center.

Set for February 11 2017 in Brooklyn, UFC 208 is quickly becoming stacked. Already featuring five confirmed fights, the New York card will showcase the first ever women’s featherweight title fight. Albeit without Cris Cyborg, the promotion will again make history in NYC. Holly Holm takes on Germaine Da Randamie in the main event, and the winner will enjoy the first ever UFC women’s 145-pound belt. Also taking place at UFC 208 will be a pivotal light-heavyweight scrap between Glover Teixeira and Jarod Cannonier.

Ian McCall and Neil Seery will (hopefully) finally collide, and welterweight prospects Ryan LaFlare and Roan Carneiro have unfinished business.

With still plenty of work to go in to this steadily growing card, ESPN’s Brett Okamoto revealed a big heavyweight tilt in the making. According to this Tweet, Derrick Lewis and Travis Browne are on a collision course for Brooklyn on February 11.

Black Beast vs. Hapa?

Last appearing at UFC Fight Night 102 in Albany, Derrick Lewis defeated Shamil Abdurakhimov by TKO. ‘Black Beast’ said he was frustrated with his performance, but still extended his win streak to five with four finishes. Travis Browne’s recent UFC form has been a whole different story. Dropping two in a row to Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez, ‘Hapa’ has won just two of his last six bouts.

Once considered a future title contender, Browne’s form really dropped after 2013. Until that point, the big Hawaiian had only lost once in nearly five years, in the three years since he is 2-4. Victory for either man is key in this rumoured bout, but a loss would prove far more costly to Browne, who could easily get dropped for losing three in a row.

UFC 204 went down this past weekend from the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, and produced what was probably the UK’s best MMA card in history.

Now we look forward to play matchmaking and examine five fights to make following Michael Bisping’s first title defense.

1. Marc Diakiese vs. Diego Sanchez

Diakiese (10-0) got his UFC career off to a flying start in Manchester, winning by TKO in the second round. The 23 year-old is exciting to watch, reminiscent of a young Jon Jones with explosive power and unorthodox attacks.

Sanchez, a household name in MMA, is expected to face UFC newcomer Marcin Held at the TUF: Latin America 3 Finale in November. Should he get past the Bellator vet, a fight with Diakiese would make a whole lot of sense.

Style wise they match up pretty perfect, both primarily strikers who love to stand-and-bang and the story of the newcomer vs the veteran would make for an interesting fight indeed.

Five Reasons Edmond Tarverdyan Is The Worst Coach In UFC

In light of his recent scuffle with heavyweight veteran Fabricio Werdum, now is the perfect time to address the ever-evolving question “Why is Edmond Tarverdyan the worst-for-your-career coach in all of MMA?” Well, there’s the fact that he marched his most talented fighter straight into the awaiting counter-strike storm of Holly Holm. Or that he

Well, there’s the fact that he marched his most talented fighter straight into the awaiting counter-strike storm of Holly Holm. Or that he took a 7-2-1 heavyweight Travis Browne from contending at the top of the division to a 2-3 record in his last 5 bouts.

Aside from his in ring question marks, however, a huge reason Tarverdyan’s style is a distraction and burden to his fighters is his insatiable urge for and undeniable knack for finding himself in the headlines under less-than-desirable circumstances.

Thanks to the magnitude of Ronda Rousey’s superstardom, Tarverdyan has repeatedly found ways to redirect his fighter’s spotlight and take center stage at the forefront of attention. Obviously this is a big detriment that requires the utmost focus from it’s athletes.

Let’s take a look at the top five instances that seal Edmond’s title as the worst trainer in the UFC:

1) Edmond Tarverdyan (If That’s His Real Name) Gets Suspended & Placed On Probation For ID Theft:

On April 2, 2015, Tarverdyan responded “No” on his Corner’s License application for the California State Athletic Commission in answer to a question regarding the existence of any past criminal offenses. As it turns out, however, back in 2010, Tarverdyan was picked up on two felony counts of identity theft and one count of resisting arrest.

After he was detained, Tarverdyan was found to be in possession of multiple credit cards, pin numbers, and social security numbers. When this was discovered, he was temporarily suspended and placed on a three-year probationary period.
