Dana White: "Travis Browne should retire."

Browne & Fedor would beat half the 213 (of the fighters walking around at 200 pounds or more) card & Bellator MSG card.

Keep fighting. Meathead would 1 punch KO all of them.

 

[AimedWithV]

Basically he can.
His wife had enough money to keep all the family.

 

[Tweak896]

His wife ruined him.

 

[Philo-Publius]

He won't do that. He'll go get paid in Bellator to fight in a thin hw division.

Nah, Travis Browne should go back to Jack-Wink. He was a title contender with them and his performance absolutely fell off a cliff AS SOON AS he left.
Go back to Jack-Wink, take, say, a 9 month break, and focus on revamping his style from the ground up - THAT is what needs to happen

Of all my picks that went wrong tonight, this one irked me the most.
Q: How the fuck does he keep Gonzaga and Barnett from taking him down and submitting him, but this guy gets it done?
A: Yeah, I know, 12-6 elbows to the back of the head, but still.

And I'm not shitting on this dude; he's got some sick subs, but this fight was literally made as a gift to Travis.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Browneye-poker and Honda should both sail off into the sunset, never to be heard from again.

 

[SouthoftheAndes]

Why?

He could dominate or do very well in Bellator.

Should Overeem retire he has been brutally k.o. 7x in mma and put away by strikes a total of 10x in mma (11 if you include him tapping to strikes to Arona). And actually yeah Overeem should retire after his next title shot assuming he losses.

 

[KSchwarz]

Why did he leave Jackson anyway?

 

[Drain Bamage]

You ever get really nervous about something and your legs/knees feel weak? That's what I see when I watch Travis Browne fight. He does not look stable out there. Legs look weak, rubbery, gangly. He has no solid base it seems. For such a big guy, I don't think he is very strong. He needs to hit the weights hard.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Mein should retire, too.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Just goes to show you that being huge doesn't really mean all that much. Just a big stiff. And that's it.

Yeah I never quite got that move he was having great success with them, beating highly touted guys like Overeem and Barnett. His move to Edmond was career suicide in hind site when you look at his career after he made the move. Also Derrick Lewis was spot on when talking about Browne does the "baby deer" after he gets rocked typically for the remainder of the fight. I am no doctor but just going off observation it seems getting rocked effects him more so than most any fighter I have ever seen. I thought he would be able to get past Alexey, but it all goes downhill for him once he has been hurt.

*Edit: I am aware he is no longer with Edmond. But the point still stands that was basically lost time he can not regain as well as lost chin he can not regain.

Why did he leave Jackson anyway?

I am guessing Holly has something to do with it. But that's just speculation.

 

[Universal Champion]

That Rousey house $ >

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

I actually agree, he doesnt need the money, seems happy in his personal life... But hey if he wants to keep fighting why not... Maybe he is one of those guys who does it for the love of the sport and not for money...

 

[Tuf_guy]

... so like, stay alive to go have Ronda's babies?

Dana is a sick mofo.

It is kinda okay for us on Sherdog to half jokingly piss on fighters. Dana calls the shots and boss them around in a such a manner, that looks sorta cruel.
