UFC heavyweight prospect, Travis Browne has been speaking ahead of his upcoming fight this weekend at UFC 130 with six-foot-eleven monster, Stefan Struve, explaining how he plans on getting on the inside and taking advantage of any weakness he can find. Speaking via the MMA Nation, Browne said:
“Yeah, if I was him, that’s something I would be focusing on for the last five to six months, is how to use my reach. For me to be able to win this fight I have to be able to get inside. If I stay out at the end of his reach, I’m playing his game. I don’t think his guard’s very underrated because we’ve seen what he’s been able to do submitting people. He’s able to sweep people, submit people, survive within his guard, even though he had big Christian Morecraft pounding on him for that first round.”
“Everyone knows his guard’s dangerous and we know he’s a great submission artist and we know that he doesn’t know how to use his reach. So for me, I have to get inside and expose where he’s been exposed before, which is the heavy hands, punches, and timing. That’s where I think I’ll come out victorious in this fight, by making the fight go where I want it to go. Stay on the ground or stay on the feet, where ever it goes, I just have to control it.”
Browne muscled his way to a lacklustre draw against Chieck Kongo at UFC 120 in October and will be looking to get back to winning ways and fast. He was successful in his octagon debut, defeating James McSweeney via first round TKO. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as it comes in.
