Nap Time with Junie Browning

Mixed Martial Arts needs its own Terrell Owens, right?

Well whether it wants it or not, MMA now has its own T.O. and his name is Junie Browning. There’s no doubt about it, Junie Browning is a character.  After his ridiculous antics on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), Browning has cemented himself as the ‘love him or hate him’ fighter of the UFC (and most people are choosing the latter).

Browning marketed himself as the loud, drunken fighter on Season 8 of The Ultimate Fighter, and followed his antics up with lack luster performances in the Octagon.  That was until Saturday night.  At the season finale of TUF, Browning fought cast mate, and Singing Bee champ (true story) Dave Kaplan and finished him in impressive fashion in the second round.

Junie loves nap time.

After a strong showing, Browning is back to his talkative ways.  Junie told MMAWeekly.com that he deserves a rematch against the Winner of TUF, Efrain Escuerdo, who defeated Junie on the show.  Apparently Junie wasn’t too impressed with Efrain’s fight against Phillipe Nover, “I fell asleep half way through, so I didn’t get to see it all. It was a smart game-plan, taking Phillipe down; he has strong punches. I give him credit. It’s hard to defend his take downs if he sets ‘em up good. If I ever fight him again, that won’t be a problem.”  Ouch.  It was so boring that you fell asleep?

Call us crazy, but calling out Efrain didn’t work the first time for Junie (Browning called Efrain a ‘boring wrestler’) so what makes Junie think it work this time?  Regardless, Junie Browning is always giving us something to talk about, and for that you got to love the man.
