With just days to go until Derrick Lewis and Travis Browne step into the Octagon in the main event of ‘UFC Fight Night: Halifax’<\/a>, talks regarding how Travis Browne will look under Edmond Tarverdyan have continued to surface. <\/p>\n

Prior to Browne’s UFC 181 scrap with Brendan Schaub in 2014, Browne began training under Edmond Tarverdyan at the Glendale Fighting Club<\/a>, where former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey trained. Browne praised Tarverdyan following the win, and has remained at GFC since. Since then, Browne has gone just 1-3 his sole win being a 3rd round TKO <\/a> win over Matt Mitrione in early 2016, where Mitrione suffered once of the most disturbing eye injuries in the history of MMA. Now, with Browne training at Black House MMA part time, fight fans are wondering if Browne will look different without training exclusively under Tarverdyan.<\/p>\n

\"Derrick<\/p>\n

Browne’s opponent, Derrick Lewis, spoke to Fox Sports<\/a> to discuss the situation, and why Tarverdyan shouldn’t necessarily be to blame for the losses:<\/p>\n

\u201cI really haven\u2019t been paying attention to him. I really just found out who Edmond [Tarverdyan] was until Ronda [Rousey] lost and everybody was blaming her coach on why she\u2019s been losing,\u201d Lewis told FOX Sports. \u201cThat\u2019s when I heard who Edmond was and that maybe he was an [expletive].\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it has nothing to do with the coach,\u201d Lewis explained. \u201cSeeing that you\u2019re a veteran and it\u2019s not like his third or fourth fight. You have 20 fights, you should know what it takes to get yourself ready. If you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re ready, you let your coach know \u2018hey we need to work on a little bit more of this\u2019. The guy\u2019s a veteran.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been fighting at the top level for four or five years now. He should know what it takes by now to get in fight ready shape. You can\u2019t really blame the coach.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
