Browne vs. Gonzaga – TUF 17 – Heavyweight Clash

by Jason Parks April 9, 2013 09:25 AM

Travis Browne can’t wait to get back into the Octagon. After a disappointing loss due to injury versus Antonio Silva, ‘Hapa’ wants to show the fighting world that his last bout was a fluke.

In an interview with ProMMANow.com, Browne stated, “coming off this loss I really have something to prove, not to everybody else but to myself, knowing that that’s a fluke and that my train has been derailed only because my body gave out.”

Browne will be fighting UFC® veteran Gabriel Gonzaga. After a yearlong break, Gonzaga returned to the Octagon in 2012 with a first-round submission of Ednaldo Oliveira at UFC 142. Most recently, the onetime heavyweight title challenger tapped Ben Rothwell with a memorable guillotine choke in the second round of their UFC on FX 7 bout. Browne on the other hand went unbeaten in his first five UFC® appearances before suffering the TKO defeat to Silva at UFC on FX 5.

“I’m feeling as strong and ready as ever,” said Browne in a Tweet to @SafeAuto. The state minimum auto insurance company is excited to support Browne with logo representation on his entrance hat and fighting trunks as he looks to get back to his winning ways.

Palaszewski vs. Miller – TUF 17 – Action Packed Fight Expected

by Jason Parks April 8, 2013 09:23 AM

Bart Palaszewski doesn’t need any motivation for his upcoming fight on April 13 at the Ultimate Fighter 17 in Las Vegas. ‘Bartimus’ is coming off of two consecutive losses. The UFC® has often applied a “three strikes and you’re out” rule when deciding a fighters fate with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Palaszewski’s opponent will be Cole Miller. Coincidentally, Miller is coming off of two consecutive losses as well. Both fighters know that this will be a pressure packed bout that will make a big impact in regards to their fighting career.

“As always, fans can expect a guns blazing fight,” said Palaszewski in a Tweet to @SafeAuto. “As long as my opponent is down to throw down!”

Palaszewski has had 17 wins by knockout while Miller has had 13 submission victories. ‘Bartimus’ also received “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout of the Night” honors as of late so fans can expect an action packed evening from Palaszewski. “I know what’s on the line so I’ll be brining my A-Game, no questions about that.”

The Ultimate Fighter 17 will be televised on FX starting at 9:00 PM EST on April 13, 2013. Look for Palaszewski to throw down while wearing the SafeAuto logo on his trunks this upcoming Saturday!

Who Is Quentin? Make A Wish Child’s Dream Comes True

by Jason Parks April 8, 2013 09:20 AM

Quentin is a five-year-old boy who loves to laugh and play. Unlike most children, Quentin faces daily struggles with Neurofibromatosis, a nerve disorder in which tumors grow on the tissue. This brave little boy has already endured several surgeries at such a young age.  Through all that Quentin has faced, his positive spirit continues to shine through his magnetic smile.

Quentin always ‘Plays It Safe’ and never leaves home without his light saber. Quentin was visited by his Wish-Granting Volunteers, and was granted his one true wish last summer: to go to Walt Disney World® Resort and become a Jedi Knight. (He’s a BIG Star Wars fan). He and his family served as the Honorary Wish Family at the BIG Wish Gala. “The fact that the Make-A-Wish Foundation enabled Quentin to have his one wish, and does this for different kids every day really just blows me away,” says Steven Diamond, Human Resources Manager for SafeAuto Insurance I’m so happy that SafeAuto was able to be a part of it.”

On Friday April 5, 2013 Quentin, along with brother Brendan and parents Kim and Matt will be visiting the SafeAuto office in Columbus to thank us for our generous support as Central Ohio’s main sponsor for Make-A-Wish and granting Quentin’s wish to Disney World®. “It’s amazing to see the impact we’ve had on Quentin,” remarks Diamond. “To be able to give someone who’s had so much hardship in their lives even a day of happiness and joy… there’s really nothing like it and I’m so thrilled that SafeAuto was able to do this for Quentin.”
