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.

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!
