Derrick Lewis vs Travis Browne on tap for UFC 208 in Brooklyn

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight power puncher Derrick Lewis will face hot-and-cold 265-pound veteran Travis Browne at the upcoming UFC 208 pay-per-vew (PPV) event, scheduled for Feb. 11, 2017 inside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Lewis (17-4, 1 NC) recently put together an impressive five-fight winning streak with four finishes. Unfortunately for the “Black Beast,” his quality of opposition has kept him out of the spotlight.

Until now.

While Browne (18-5, 1 NC) has struggled in recent fights — to the tune of three losses in his last four appearances — “Hapa” is a recognizable name with the kind of experience (and size) to give Lewis all sorts of problems.
