Unblemished heavyweight Travis “Hapa” Browne (10-0-1 MMA, 1-0-1 UFC) will be returning at UFC 130. He will face Stefan Struve (21-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) May 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Memorial Day weekend. Verbal agreements are in place, though bout agreements are expected to be signed.
Browne is coming off a draw to Cheick Kongo, and admitted to fighthubtv.com that “I was not mentally in it, when the fight started.” His prior fight in the Octagon was a TKO stoppage over James McSweeney.
Struve on the other hand looked impressive in his most recent fight, stopping the trash talking Sean McCorkle in the first round.
