Heading into his UFC 213<\/a> bout with\u00a0Oleksiy Oliynyk, Travis Browne has been training with former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett \u2013 a man he knocked out back in late 2013 with a series of hellacious elbows.<\/p>\n

In order to begin training with Barnett, Browne first had to squash his beef with the former champion. This beef stemmed from the fact that Browne stole Barnett’s post-fight celebration \u2013 a throat slashing gesture \u2013 moments after he knocked him out.<\/p>\n

Browne explained his beef-squashing exchange with Barnett in a recent interview with MMAFighting.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was upset, not about how the fight went, he\u2019s very professional about, you win, you lose, it is what it is,” Browne explained. “But I know he was upset about me doing his thing after the fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI took fault for that, to his face, sitting across the table from him. I gave him a chance to speak and I listened. I didn\u2019t know if he was going to be be, \u2018Hey man, that\u2019s cool for me to do,\u2019 or if he was going to be like \u2018Hey man, f*ck you.\u2019 He was a man about it. He told me he would coach me. He\u2019s working with me. He took it the best way I could ever imagine.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Browne then explained why he chose to swipe Barnett’s victory celebration moments after knocking him out.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI let my guard down a little bit and I just told him, look dude, we fought, everything happened the way it happened,\u201d Browne said. \u201cI was jacked. I was like \u2018holy sh*t,\u2019 right? The biggest win of my career. It was emotional, it was adrenaline, I did his move after the fight, and I just looked at him and said, \u2018Man, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m not making excuses. I\u2019m telling you right now that I was wrong for me to do that. That\u2019s your thing.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t a jab at him, it wasn\u2019t meant to be like \u2018F you\u2019 or anything like that.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How do you think Travis Browne will perform under the tutelage of his former foe Josh Barnett?<\/p>\n
