Round 1: Browne's size advantage is evident as soon as they meet in the center. He swings big and misses, nearly toppling over, then does it again a few seconds later. Browne clinches up and muscles Broughton up against the fence. The big American should have the edge there, but can't do much with it before they separate. Good leg kick by Browne, then a front kick that gets right in Broughton's face. Broughton clips him with a hook but eats a right in exchange. Browne flicks out another kick as the crowd grows restless. Broughton keeps coming, doing most of the forward movement so far but having trouble getting close enough. Browne backs up with a good left hook, but then follows with an ill-timed jumping knee from way too far out and ends up in the clinch. Browne grabs a single-leg and flings Broughton to the mat easily, getting the mount and launching some wild elbows before the horn sounds. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Browne.
