Mike Brown takes loss like a man

This is what I like to hear from fighters. Mike Brown, who got his bell rung by Manny Gamburyan at last Saturday’s WEC 48, has come forward to say that his loss had nothing to do with any personal issues he may have been dealing with.

UFC president Dana White said during post-event interviews that Brown was going through a bad breakup and had missed a couple of weeks of training camp, which may have factored into the upset loss. No so, says Brown. He tells MMA Junkie that personal problems had nothing to do with getting KO’ed, Gamburyan’s right fist did.

How refreshing, how excuse-free, how stand-up and take responsibility of Brown. How very un-Tito Oriz.
