Back when Mike Brown was the WEC featherweight champion, he heard the same question all the time. People who barely followed the sport, people who didn’t know any better, they’d ask him, ‘Does this mean you get to go to the UFC now?’
Only now that the UFC has absorbed the lighter weight fighters from the WEC roster, Brown’s stay in the UFC isn’t going at all like he planned. It started with a split decision loss to Diego Nunes at UFC 125. Three weeks later, he was back in action again for a unanimous decision loss to Rani Yahya.
In less than a month’s time the former champ was 0-2 as a featherweight in the UFC, and his career outlook was suddenly quite grim.
