LOS ANGELES -- Travis Browne spent a week working with Josh Barnett leading up to Browne’s UFC 213 fight with Oleksiy Oliynyk.
That’s a smart move on the Hawaiian heavyweight’s part, given Oliynyk is a submission artist and the veteran Barnett is a master of catch wrestling.
But Browne never would have gotten to this spot if he didn’t apologize to Barnett first in order to settle a beef.
Back at UFC 168, Browne defeated Barnett, the former UFC heavyweight champion, via knockout in one minute flat.
