Travis Browne: "I'm that guy who works his ass off"
BJPENN.COM News - January 3, 2014
“I’m that guy who works his ass off, who shows the guys sitting on the couch that he should go do what he loves. I’m an average person, I just decided to work hard and dedicate myself to something. That’s the only thing that separates people like me from people sitting on the couch. I was on the couch watching Tim Sylvia beat Ricco Rodriguez, Randy Couture beat Tim Sylvia, and Josh Barnett fight in PRIDE. I was one of these guys on the couch who said I could do it without actually doing a f—ing thing about it. My choice was to become great, to become better than average.” With his sole loss behind him and after rattling off two-straight wins, Travis Browne is just one fight away from a shot at the UFC gold currently held by Cain Velasquez.

McMann Planning To 'Dominate' Rousey In Route To Title
BJPENN.COM News - January 2, 2014
“Actually, I kind was (shocked). Truthfully, I don’t know how it works. I never knew when I was going to get the shot. I’m just trying to be patient and keep getting better every day, so when it did come along, I was the best possible fighter I could be. It definitely was surprising, but I wanted it for quite awhile and to be the world champion was my original goal when I started. So, it was a welcome surprise.” “My significant other and I both felt like this couldn’t have come at a better time. It feels very right to us. That’s what makes us very excited about it because if it had come off some kind of controversy or like, different fights have a different feel to them, some with a more negative perception. This one just feels like the perfect timing.”
Silva's Surgeon Says Injury Could Have Led To Leg Amputation
BJPENN.COM News - January 1, 2014
“The minute I saw it and recognized it, I knew it was fixable. We are not even 48 hours from the surgery, and tibia fractures, though we can get them to heal, can have slower healing. So in general, my prognosis would be a fracture healing somewhere in the nature of three to six months. But there’s also soft tissue components that have to heal, and then of course a rehabilitative process as well.” “In terms of the severity of the injury, it was, I would say, fairly severe. Fortunately for Anderson, the skin did not break. But where could an injury like that go? An injury like that could go where, as I mentioned, the skin breaks, and now you’ve got this exposed bone in the environment of an Octagon, and so his risk of infection goes up meteorically. He could have also twisted in such a different direction where he could’ve potentially lacerated an artery going to the foot, in which case you now have what we call vascular compromise. He could’ve, in that case, potentially needed a vascular reconstructive procedure to reattach an artery. Injuries like this can, at times, even be limb threatening. If the fracture is severe enough, if it compromises vascular supply to the feet and vascular supply cannot be reestablished, it can result in an amputation.”
