Derrick Lewis Motivated To Fight 'wife Beater' Travis Browne

... to Canada before. I really would have liked to have fought on the pay-per-view card in Brooklyn, I haven’t fought on PPV yet. I believe (Travis) is a good fighter, he’s going to be one of my toughest opponents. He was looking him like I’m disrespecting him, calling to fight him.”. “I just wanted a real good fight, but he’s looking at it like I’m disrespecting him. He can look at it like motivation, but I can look at him beating his wife as my motivation.

Fighter On Fighter! Breaking Down ‘hapa

... tougher opposition, it’s also because he’s undergone a change. Browne began his mixed martial arts (MMA) career as an athletic specimen, relying on his instincts and doing what came natural to the physically gifted Hawaiian.

He’s been one of the UFC’s most active fighters, as Sunday’s bout was his eighth in just under 24 months. He’s won seven of those, six of them via knockout.
