Junie Browning’s Bar Brawl Leads to Man Hunt in Thailand *UPDATE

Is that difficult to find a bleach blond spikey haired white dude in Thailand? So last night Junie Browning posted on his Facebook that he was basically forced to defend himself after 11 or so.

Is that difficult to find a bleach blond spikey haired white dude in Thailand? So last night Junie Browning posted on his Facebook that he was basically forced to defend himself after 11 or so men picked a fight with him to test the skills of a “UFC fighter guy”. He said he was battered with objects and then a Thai women stabbed him. He then broke a few jaws in self-defense before passing out from blood-loss and was resuscitated. Here is the full account as posted by Browning:

But as there are two sides to every story, it seems the bar filled with Thai folks disagree with Browning’s account and a waitress says an irate Junie Browning started the brawl, which was said to have continued at the hospital (perhaps, after resuscitation). It isn’t hard to believe these accounts since Browning did get sued for beating up on a few nurses in a Las Vegas hospital after a suicide attempt in 2009. Here is his on camera explanation for that incident with us at MMA Fix here. But, I also consider that all the blame may not be fairly placed on Junie and there could be several people at fault. It’s not like Junie’s is the first story you’ve ever heard like this. A bunch of drunk dudes at a bar get in a fight? That’s pretty typical. A crazy bitch stabs you? I can buy that, too. Maybe I’m just jaded. I do live in Vegas. That happened here 5 times yesterday.

Either way, police in Phuket are searching for Junie Browning. I can only imagine where he could be hiding, if they have yet to find him. Of course, the slave traffickers seem to hide themselves well down in Thailand, too so this hunt may take awhile.

Here We Go Again: Police in Thailand Mount Manhunt for Junie Browning Following Bar and Hospital Brawl


(What, me worry?)

Police in Phuket are combing the Thai island looking for Junie Browning after the troubled 26-year-old UFC castoff allegedly started a brawl in a local bar where he assaulted several patrons before attacking the victims again at a hospital later in the night.


(What, me worry?)

Police in Phuket are combing the Thai island looking for Junie Browning after the troubled 26-year-old UFC castoff allegedly started a brawl in a local bar where he assaulted several patrons before attacking the victims again at a hospital later in the night.

Here’s what went down according to The Phuket News:

The owner of the bar reported to police that the American had arrived at the bar in a furious mood.

She alleged that he bullied her customers and staff, and smashed glasses and furniture.

Some of the customers tried to intervene, which provoked a brawl. This ended up with those involved, including the American, being sent to Patong Hospital. Browning then fled.

Two people are still at Patong Hospital today.

The Phuket Wan paints a similar picture of what happened:

Earlier in the night, Mr Browning allegedly was seen beating up on an expat woman in a bar in Patak Road Karon. He also lashed out at Thai female staff when they tried to intervene, police said.

Four other tourists from Australia and the US also attempted to intervene but Mr Browning lashed out at them, too, police said. The brawling continued when all the participants were taken for treatment at Patong Hospital.

Here are some photos of a seemingly intoxicated and irate Junie taken at the hospital during part two of his melee.

Judging by past history, the reports fit “The Lunatik’s” MO to a “T.”

During filming for TUF 8, he threw drinking glasses at housemate Shane Primm and was nearly kicked off the show by UFC president Dana White.

You may also recall that this isn’t the first time Junie has started trouble in an emergency department. Back in 2009, he was arrested and accused of assaulting three nurses in Vegasafter he was rushed to the hospital after being discovered by his then-girlfriend unconscious from a suicide attempt drug overdose. At the hospital he allegedly pushed a female nurse, punched a male nurse and kicked another male nurse before threatening to rape their families and was subsequently charged with assault and battery.

Police in Phuket are monitoring the airport to ensure that Browning doesn’t flee the country.
