11 Predictions For UFC 181

3. Travis Browne vs. Brendan Schaub

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzySZK0zGVw Weight Class: Heavyweight Striker vs. Grappler is what this match really is at its core. Since suffering a couple of rough knockouts a few years back, former TUF competitor Brendan Schaub has reinvented himself. He's been accused of adopting a boring style, but if it works, you can't really knock him. Travis Browne, meanwhile, was most recently seen in a number one contenders bout against Fabricio Werdum, but was beat up, frankly, for five rounds by the man who would go on to best Mark Hunt for the interim championship. For Browne (16€“2€“1), he needs to keep this fight standing, utilize his kicks and elbows, and employ a smart, strong takedown defence. For Schaub (10€“4), he'll be looking to avoid Browne's power and get this fight to the ground if possible. The man who imposes his gameplan wins. We expect it to be Browne, by KO in the second.
