Former WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown says he was not distracted
by personal issues leading into his fight with Manny Gamburyan this past
Saturday at WEC 48.
After Brown suffered a first-round knockout to Gamburyan, UFC president
Dana White told reporters that the former champion suffered personal
problems in training camp and said he was tipped off to the issue by
Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields and famed MMA trainer
Mark DellaGrotte.
“I’m not sure where everything’s coming from,” Brown
today told MMAjunkie.com. “I’ve talked to Jake before, and I know Mark.
Everybody has issues going on but it wasn’t a factor in my fight.”
