PITTSBURGH – Charlie Brenneman was a winner even before he stepped into the cage at Sunday’s UFC on Versus 4 event.
After a series of events left Brenneman without an opponent and the event without a headliner, the hometown hero stepped in on a day’s notice against red-hot welterweight Rick Story.
That decision made him fearless. A crowd-rousing walkout made him a local favorite. And his eventual victory made him nothing short of a legend, UFC president Dana White told MMAjunkie.com.
