The 11th installment of UFC on Fox presents Werdum vs Browne this weekend in Orlando, Florida. The heavyweight contenders bout is the headline of a card that’s lived up to the traditional Fox billing; a wealth of exciting match ups with multiple Fight of the Night contenders packing out the 13-fight lineup.

Heavyweight: Fabricio Werdum (17-5-1) vs Travis Browne (16-1-1)

In a bout that will likely name the next heavyweight title challenger, both Browne and Werdum will meet head on, having both gathered momentum from three-fight win streaks.

After suffering a knee injury mid-fight before being knocked out by Antonio Silva for his first and so far only career loss back in 2012, Browne has resumed his impressive ascendance of the heavyweight ranks by knocking out Gabriel Gonzaga, Alistair Overeem and Josh Barnett consecutively, all in the opening round.

In contrast, Werdum was last defeated by Overeem in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix before making his UFC return in 2012 where the 2nd-degree BJJ black belt surprised audiences with a powerful and precise Muay Thai display that battered Roy Nelson. Since then, the Brazilian has produced a first round KO of Mike Russow, and an arm-bar submission against the iconic Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

This is far from striker vs grappler; Both men carry notable striking ability, although with Browne being the more unorthodox fighter on his feet, capable of pulling off a surprising and or stylish finish. ‘Hapa’ is no slouch on the ground either, however this could be where Werdum’s best chance lies. The Brazilian’s takedowns have required some improvement in the past, however Browne was taken down by Overeem and should Werdum do the same, it would take a highly impressive performance for Browne to escape being submitted.

Women’s bantamweight: Miesha Tate (13-5) vs Liz Carmouche (9-4)

Two fighters in need of a victory but in no danger of being cut from the roster. The popular ‘Cupcake’ is yet to taste victory in the UFC having gone 0-2 against top contender Cat Zingano and undefeated Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey. The ‘Girl-Rilla’ Liz Carmouche also suffered the wrath of Rousey’s arm-bar, however went on to finish Jessica Andrade with a TKO last Summer before being out-pointed by Alexis Davis when the former US Marine competed at UFC Fight for the Troops in November, 2013.

Carmouche brings a low center of gravity that contributes to her takedowns and powerful finishes. Meanwhile, the more experienced Tate has a well documented wrestling background, and while more prolific with submissions, she has a smart pair of hands to pressure her opponent with.

Lightweight: Donald Cerrone (22-6-1NC) vs Edson Barboza (13-1)

Surely this will be a fight that has you intrigued; Donald Cerrone – a hard nosed, adrenaline loving ‘Cowboy’ and kickboxing specialist; these days you can’t be sure if he’s going to level an opponent with an unmerciful head-kick or suck them in and add to his list of 14 submission victories.

It takes a notable effort to best Cerrone, 4 of his 6 career losses have been to champions in the form of Jamie Varner, Ben Henderson, and Anthony Pettis, while the likes of Nate Diaz put on the most clinical display of his career to out-punch Cerrone over three rounds.

Across the Octagon will be Brazil’s Edson Barboza, who not too long ago was thought of as being the next Anderson Silva, only at 155lbs. The 28-year-old has suffered just one loss to seasoned veteran Jamie Varner, and has since built a three-fight win streak that added to his already flourishing highlight reel by TKO’ing Rafaello Oliveira with leg kicks and coming back from the depths of near defeat to claim a majority decision victory against Danny Castillo in his last outing.

There will be little room for error here in what could be a Fight of the Year contender, if not a highlight finish. Both fighters will likely produce spots of excitement, however Barboza may not be as fortunate against Cerrone, should he fall behind as he did against Castillo.

Middleweight: Brad Tavares (12-1) vs Yoel Romero (7-1)

An important fight in the career of both men and a battle between two fighters ranked side by side; Tavares (#13) and Romero (#14) are each pushing to break into the top-12 and move towards those bigger fights.

The road for both fighters so far couldn’t not be more contrasting, Tavares has put together a solid 5-fight win streak and gets better with every showing. However, all five victories have come by way of decision, and in a promotion where decision heavy fighters can become frustratingly less appreciated, the Hawaiian could really use a finish in order to make an impression.

In contrast, Romero has put together a 3-fight win streak since his first career loss to Rafael Cavalcante under the Strikeforce banner in 2011, and also boasts 100% knockouts in the win column. The Cuban has potential to be far more than just a notable grappler, the Olympic Wrestling silver medalist has has already claimed both Knockout of the Night and Fight of the Night honors in just three UFC bouts, however has been rough around the edges. The 36-year-old most recently snatched another late knockout win against Derek Brunson in January, however was arguably behind and looked tired before rallying to earn the stoppage.

Among the nine undecard fights, undefeated Russian lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov (21-0) will look to continue his dominance when he takes on Rafael dos Anjos (20-6) who himself is coming off a unanimous decision win over Donald Cerrone. Also on the card, former welterweight title challenger Thiago Alves (19-9) returns once again from injury, having not competed in over year. The once feared ‘Pitbull’ has seen his career take an unfortunate turn with multiple injuries complete with brain surgery for an arteriovenous malformation discovered by a pre-fight CAT Scan. Alves returns to face ‘The Polish Pistola’ Seth Baczynski (19-10) who was able to shake off a two-fight slump and grind out a decision win over Neil Magny in what was a back and forth fight at UFC Fight for the Troops last November. Baczysnki holds an overall positive UFC record of 5-3, and was the last man to defeat Matt Brown.
