I'm sitting here watching TUF marathon right now & it makes me wonder about the infamous Junie Browning.We all saw that he did pretty well at 155 but I think this dude could be a beast at 145 in the WEC.He'd be a pretty strong guy at that weight (like Mike Brown) & after a few tune-up fight at that weight could even challenge for the belt,I'd like some feedback on this brothers, whatcha think?

He went 1-1 in the Octogon.
He stepped into the cage and put it all on the line.
Sometimes I find it hilarious how us as fans can sit on the outside and make these blanket statements about a guy who has more skill and balls to get in there then most of us would.
*Note- not singling you out Sheer, I just see stuff like this a lot.

He made it to the semi's with all of his issues,I'd say that's pretty good

Yeah and he almost chickened out of the last fight! imo Junie Browning is not a contender at any weight. Guys like Mike Brown...Urijah Faber... Garcia etc. etc. Even Jens Pulver would tear him in half. Junie and his brother are punks...who do not have the mental fortitude to be world class fighters.

Junie was lacking the skills to fight at the UFC level and he doesn't have what it takes to fight the the WEC level either. I can respect that he got into the cage and fought, but that doesn't mean he lives up to his own hype. The kid needs to spend more time in the gym fine-tuning his game. His only UFC wins were against undersized guys that really have no business being in the UFC. He got man-handled by Cole Miller and he will get man-handled by most of WECs featherweights. I just dont see what people see in him.

I didn't think he did pretty well, there is no aspect of his game that i see that makes me think that he can remain as a viable professional fighter. i think he would even potentially lose in local shows to good fighters. Not saying he wouldn't beat mediocre competition, but that's about all i see him doing.
i could be wrong, have been before, i just don't see it.
Fabianno(sp?), Aldo, Faber, Brown, Yamamoto, Warren(he's on the list!), Hioki, etc... are all in that division.... it's not any easier at that weight.

People see the one word term that either fighters live up to or crumble under: POTENTIAL. He has a pretty good coach in Tompkins & if he gets his s--- together can be pretty damn good, look dude,he's entertaining to see on T.V but I would not go out drinking with him,don't personally like him,but as a fan of MMA I do realize his potential.Not a lot of people like Lesnar,Kimbo,Lashley,etc but you gotta realize that they're here to stay for however long, get used to it.Cole Miller is a very seasoned & experienced fighter & you're right,he got b-----slapped,s**t happens.GSP got beat badly by Matt Serra the first time(no dude I'm not saying Junie is the next GSP so don't comment on that or I'll put you in a kimura).This is an open forum to discuss whatever about this great sport,so instead of the same old "Fedor rules" (we all know that), "Sylvia's a bum" (DUH!),etc ad infinitum I decided to make things intereting. Just Junie's name sparks emotions for & against him but as Jens Pulver said to Mike Brown, it don't matter whether they're cheering for you or against you,as long as they're making noise. 'NUFF SAID.Love anyway Sheer

No,actually it brought "Survivor" type reality show drama to the house,who did not want to see Junie get his *** kicked in the semi's-HELLO!But let's go all the way back to Season 1,the ORIGINAL TUF bad boy Chris Leben,at the time was the most hated fighters around but now people love the hell out of Leben.They've accepted that he's just a weirdo & different than others

He wasn't half as bad as Brownstain and he isn't that loved. It's not that browneye is a weirdo, he was doing s--- on purpose to try and get the limelight...Leben was real. I don't want to see brownhole fight(or do anything) wether he wins or loses. Can't stand him just want him to go away. He is not threat at any weight class.

I think we need a new sub forum for "What if" fighter A moves up in weight, or "what if" Fighter B moves down in weight.

Hey Sheer,HELL NO I'm not a Junie fan,s**t just popped into my head watching his bro do his best dumb redneck that can't handle his al-kee-hol during the TUF marathon & it got me to thinking about Junie @ 145,of course he & his bro aren't mentally tough enough to last BUT if Sean Tompkins does a good enough job of Junie-sitting him & gets his head on straight he COULD be a pretty good fighter.I'm sure Leben acted like a 'tard for the attention at first,too but he's getting his head together & is turning out to be a damn good fighter,look,I went through a rough period of my life for about 14 years going in & out of prison,drugs,etc so in a way I hope that Junie gets his s**t together because life's a real b---- when you f*** off your potentail

What is going on in MMA today? Everytime a fighter shows lackluster skills, the solution always seems to be "maybe he should cut weight". Junie is simply not that great of a fighter, if he wants to do better at 155 or 145, he has to hone his skills and control himself instead of being a reckless hillbilly.

Thats my basic thoughts. 145 is as stacked if not moreso then 155. Junie just isnt there to compete with the top or even near top.
Junie is still pretty young isnt he? You never kinow where his skills go as time goes by. I frankly never thought Forrest would develope into a skilled technical fighter. He proved me wrong in spades and gets better everytime he goes out. If Junie does the same I only hope his mental state developes as well cause I would hate to see this guy as champ in his current mental state

So much hate for Junie Browning, its amazing that pepole can make sucj hyper critical statements and assesmants from watching a t.v. show then going and spewing them on the internet. IMO it makes you just as big of a douche bag.
Junie Browning Fan, one of a few.
