that left leg is pinned to the chest of travis browne. there's no air for him to move. if he separates that right arm from travis body and throws his right leg over the body of travis's body. travis is in all sorts ever trouble. he's back to his feet. >> mike: he's up. good escape, though, joe. >> joe: yes. but fabricio can hit him with knees now too. >> mike: and a right hand. >> joe: and look. travis is exhausted. >> mike: he's trying to play like he's not. >> joe: oh, he's exhausted. his legs are wobbly. look how he's moving. >> mike: look how he's laboring with his punches. he's usually very crisp. the second time he got hit, though, but he works through it again. final minute of round 2. browne is one strike away from winning this fight. >> joe: but i don't know if he has it in him right now. the way he's throwing his punches. >> mike: experience heavily on the side of werdum. and that may be the biggest

there. wow. >> mike: what a combination. >> joe: kick to the body. >> mike: outstanding. there aren't many in the world better than rafael cordero. and we can see the many years that fabricio has spent with him paying off here in this showcase fight tonight. >> joe: absolutely. travis trying to set up a wheel kick. he's really telegraphing it. >> mike: everything's coming a lot slower now. >> joe: he might give up the idea but he was definitely trying to set it up. >> mike: second time werdum has been scheduled for five rounds. his first was the last fight against big nog. he scored the submission victory in round 2. >> joe: we had a couple questions then. can fabricio werdum take travis to the ground? yes. can he stand with travis? yes. and can travis survive on the ground? yes again. >> mike: nice spinning back kick. look at werdum. >> joe: no one would have ever expected this. this is really incredible. >> mike: there was a clear check

mark on the ledger that said striking for travis browne. it's been moved definitively by fabricio werdum. >> joe: good right hand by werdum there. rafael cordero has done a masterful job with fabricio werdum. and what led fabricio to be an elite brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist is now allowing him to use that same focus and energy to become a great striker. beautiful sweep. >> mike: there's no way hapa's -- >> joe: oh, man. kick to the body. >> mike: he is all red on the ribcage. right side of his body. >> joe: he's all over travis browne! >> mike: second time browne has been scheduled for five rounds. his first was the loss to bigfoot when he snapped his hamstring in round 1. so we're getting toward uncharted territory here in the third with the potential of four and five. >> joe: yeah, travis is going to

have to really conserve energy or end this fight. fabricio -- >> referee: there you go. >> joe: -- werdum is showing just incredible ability to absorb these shots. beautiful knee by fabricio! and big shot! travis is in trouble! >> mike: big-time. travis can't move out of the way. >> joe: he's ripping to the body. and then the knee. >> mike: cain velasquez recovering from left shoulder surgery. he's watching very closely tonight. >> joe: another takedown. >> mike: man, they battle. werdum looks up at the clock.

have gone. in their entire mma careers. second time both scheduled for five rounds. browne went one. werdum went two. >> joe: i'm surprised werdum hasn't utilized more leg kicks. he was having good success with those early in the fight. but he stopped. >> mike: because he certainly wouldn't hate it even though browne would be on top if this gets back to the ground. >> joe: yeah. travis went to throw that oblique kick and fabricio mocked him. >> mike: yeah. up the middle. >> joe: big right hand by fabricio. >> mike: we've seen that straight kick from some really famous brazilians before. lyoto machida. anderson silva. travis browne's used it as well. >> joe: jon jones loves that kick as well. that oblique kick.

get it going. just over two minutes in the fourth. main event. fox ufc saturday. >> joe: travis got a little break there. looks a little more lively again. >> mike: yep. >> joe: that right hand. >> mike: when he fakes with the left -- >> joe: fabricio looking for the takedown. big right hand and a nice uppercut. >> mike: three takedowns for werdum. first man to ever take travis browne down. if he switches for the southpaw stance look for the body kick. or he'll switch with the left again. >> joe: fabricio looked at the clock. it seems like he feels he's way ahead in the fight and he's not

taking any chances of getting tired. >> mike: he is, isn't he? >> joe: i believe so, for sure. and i think he thinks it's up to -- look at that. beautiful counter when travis moves in. it's up to travis to make something happen and he's capitalizing on the mistakes that travis makes while he does that. travis has to chase him now. notice how fabricio moves away -- >> mike: just out of the way of the kick and again -- >> joe: and smiling at him. >> mike: under a minute now. front kick against overeem was a highlight reel knockout for travis browne. watch for it. werdum doing a good job, joe, with his footwork and his distance, staying out of harm's

way. just on the outside. of 6'7" travis browne. 15 seconds. [ horn ] >> referee: time! >> mike: so far so great. rafael cordero. >> translator: this round was a little bit even. impose your game now. hit him, step in and out. if you have the opportunity, take him down. finish this fight. win this fight well. there's no reason to stay in this game.

fabricio. and he's got the back. and travis is right back up to his feet. >> mike: 16 career wins for browne. 17 for werdum. this a huge fight, with the winner facing cain velasquez. >> joe: two front kicks in a row by browne, looking for the head kick with that left. >> mike: how he finished overeem. >> joe: he went front kick front kick with the right and then was thinking about the kick from the southpaw position with the right foot forward. >> mike: got to close the distance, joe. >> joe: he's got to go for broke. he's got to risk losing by knockout. >> mike: yep. >> joe: there's very few openings that fabricio's giving him. he's got to make openings. he's got to be very aggressive with whatever energy he's got left.

>> mike: when travis looks to engage, werdum is moving on great angles. >> joe: and fabricio gets tagged two more times with straight rights. 3:30 left. >> mike: basically, what browne has to do now is just scrap. >> joe: nice leg kick by travis. >> mike: the hawaiian mantra, made famous by b.j. penn. >> joe: excellent jab by fabricio. maybe the best use of the jab we've ever seen from him. >> mike: which is interesting because travis browne's corner felt that the use of the jab would be a key to this victory and it's werdum who's done it better. >> joe: top down attempt again. and again turns out of the corner with that stiff jab.

1:45 left. >> joe: travis barely has the energy to throw that kick. >> mike: changing his stance. watch for the body. >> joe: whoa. >> mike: 90 seconds remain. werdum, joe, is seeming just offensive enough to have excellent defense against travis browne. >> joe: he's also talking to him. i don't know what he's saying to him, but he's taunted him several times. he tags him again. >> mike: under a minute. now or never for hapa. good hook. big swing and a miss.

>> joe: excellent footwork as well by fabricio. moving very well away from the attack and then sliding right back in for his own shot. >> mike: never straight back, joe. always on angle. like this. >> joe: well, he saw that wheel kick coming a mile away. travis's legs are made out of lead. >> mike: under 30 now. the jab again. total domination by werdum. 15 seconds remain. and he's the one who connects again. browne fighting to the finish. nothing left. you see the right leg, joe. nothing left for travis browne. what a performance by fabricio werdum. >> joe: that was incredible. >> mike: he moved to the usa as he said unemployed. and now he may very well have
