After taking a fight with Rani Yahya on short notice as part of last weekends UFC: Fight for the Troops 2 event, former WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown (24-8) is reporting that he’ll undergo surgery for his left hand after damaging it in his fight with Yahya.
Brown, who fought just three weeks prior to last Saturday at UFC 125, posted this notice on his Facebook page late last night.
Thanks for the continued support. Wanted to let everyone know that i’m doing fine, but I tore a radial cruciate ligament in my left hand in the first round of the fight. Surgery tomorrow. A crazy month for sure.
The former WEC champ lost both fights, dropping a unanimous decision to Yahya and a split decision to Diego Nunes at the UFC 125 show. The loss puts Brown at a 2-4 record and could very well see him dismissed from the UFC, but no word has come out confirming his future with the UFC at this time.
