Stakes are high for a heavyweight headliner between Travis Browne (15-1-1 MMA, 6-1-1 UFC) and Fabricio Werdum (17-5-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 11, UFC President Dana White said today at a pre-event news conference. “The winner of this fight will fight Cain Velasquez in Mexico – assuming Cain’s recovery is on schedule,” White said. Although not yet made official by the UFC, that card is expected for November. White did not give a precise date for the potential bout or a location for an event in Mexico, adding, “I’m probably going to get in trouble for announcing that.” Velasquez’s coach, however, is cautiously optimistic the champ will be able to stick to a November deadline he set this past month in Dallas. “He’s still in rehab right now,” American Kickboxing Academy coach Bob Cook told MMAjunkie.
