Heavyweight contenders Fabricio Werdum and Travis Browne will headline UFC on Fox 11 on April 19. UFC president Dana White confirmed the main event match-up in New York following the UFC 169 media day on Thursday. The winner will likely earn the next title shot. Werdum (17-5-1) had been next in line for a shot at current UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez , but with the champ out for the next several months due to a shoulder injury, the Brazilian instead opted to get back in the Octagon to fight Browne. Werdum will have been out of action for nearly a year by the time the April date rolls around, having last fought when he submitted Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira last June.
