At the final UFC 203 pre-fight press conference in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday, one of the main topics discussed after the presser was the intense face-off between Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne, which included the former UFC Heavyweight Champion saying something to “Hapa” Browne in Portuguese.
Werdum, who will fight Browne in the co-main event this Saturday in a rematch of their first Octagon meeting, which saw the Brazilian soundly defeating the highly-regarded heavyweight contender, made it clear that he intends to “break” Browne this time around.
After telling his own teammates in Portuguese, “let’s break this motherf*cker,” Werdum moved closer to Browne for their formal face-off in front of the MMA media in attendance. It was at that point that the Brazilian reiterated that same point a couple of times to “Hapa” Browne’s face in Portuguese.
“I will break your face, bastard,” Werdum told Browne during their intense face-off (view above). “I’ll break your rib, clown. You know I will break you. You know I will break you. You know that.”
Werdum-Browne II takes place as the co-main event of UFC 203 this Saturday. With a win, particularly if he does “break” Browne this time around, Werdum would likely find himself positioned as the next challenger to the UFC Heavyweight Championship against the winner of the UFC 203 main event between Stipe Miocic, the man he lost the title to in his last Octagon appearance, and another former rival of his, Alistair Overeem.
UFC 203: Miocic vs. Overeem is scheduled to go down live from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio this Saturday, September 10, 2016, exclusively on pay-per-view. If you aren’t ordering the event on PPV, join us here at MMANews.com for live round-by-round results coverage of the show.
