Former featherweight champion Mike Brown has lost his second UFC fight in just three weeks.
Brown, who was hoping to bounce back from a split decision loss to Diego Nunes at UFC 125, instead dropped a unanimous decision to Rani Yahya at the UFC Fight for the Troops 2. Brown is now on a two-fight losing streak and has dropped four of his last six, and it’s fair to wonder how much the former champ has left.
Yahya snapped a two-fight losing streak of his own and looked good in the process. He’ll be a fighter to keep an eye on in the UFC’s new featherweight division.
“It was a very tough fight,” Yahya said afterward. “Mike is a winner, he’s a warrior. He’s a 35-year-old warrior that took a fight on two-week’s notice and fought at the last UFC, so he should get credit for that.”
