Yet another Strikeforce heavyweight moves over to the UFC, as Chad Griggs makes his promotional debut against Travis Browne in March.
The news was revealed by the UFC today.
American fighter Chad “The Grave Digger” Griggs (11-1-0) is currently on an excellent six-fight winning streak, defeating the likes of Bobby Lashley, Gianpiero Villante and Valentijn Overeem.
A former member of the Tucsan Scorpions team in the IFL, Griggs has knocked out nine of his twelve opponents and will be looking to make a huge statement against Browne in his UFC debut.
Undefeated Travis “Hapa” Browne (12-0-1) was last seen at UFC 135, defeating Rob Broughton via decision. Prior to that, he impressively knocked out Stefan Struve with a superman punch.
The only blip on Browne’s career to date was when he drew with Cheick Kongo, after the Frenchman was deducted a poit for grabbing Browne’s shorts.
UFC 145 takes place on March 24th at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. The card also sees Rory MacDonald taking on Che Mills.
