Junie will probly be built up to be the next UFC poster boy in about a year or two, just as Forest was and we all seen what happend to Forest! Couldnt even defend his belt once LOL.

I doubt it, seems more like Dana White is trying to get rid of Junie just like “JT Money” by giving him some competition he isn’t ready for. People say Junie looked extremely good in his fight against Kaplan, but I think it is more of a fact that Kaplan looked TERRIBLE in that fight. I predict Cole to strike with Junie until he gets frustrated and then finish him with a submission.

You think Forrest is a joke because he got beat by a fighter like Rashad Evans?
Come on, dude…

Get some Wrecking Machine!!!!
How many chances will Melvin “Teabag Boy” be given by Dana?wtf
by DirtbagHtr on Jan 15, 2009 1:11 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Probaly as many as it takes to make him a title holder, he is all drama, and that sells tickets. He’ll be given weak or hurt fighters to insure the big " W " for Dana’s teabag boy good old Junie big mouth brownie. I hope he chokes himself on a chicken bone.

If Melvin Guillard and Junie Browning win their fights I’d like to see them in the cage imagine all the bad boy hype.
I’d also like to see a rematch between Efrain Escudero and Junie Browning. Browning had very weak cardio going into his semi against Efrain and I’d think it would be a different Junie in a rematch. I think the UFC will build both fighters up first however, I think they learned from the Danzic vs Guida fight.

You know Dana will save this fight till he can build it up. But as far as Junie winning the next time around I dont think so . Junie’s time has come and gone they can both only get better. Also that fight should have been all Junie but he beat himself he lost before he enterd the octagone Junie wasnt there mentaly he’s just like one of my fighters good as hell but isnt there mentally YET!!!!!!!!

It’s a wednesday since it’s a card shown right before the premiere of the ultimate fighter.

Junie and Efrain have very tough fights here. I don’t know if it’d be consider an upset when both guys get finished. I think Heathen will come out on fire and TKO Efrain in the 2nd, and Cole is SO much better than Junie in everything, and he has an insane reach advantage over him. With Junie’s sub game being his best asset, the Miller brothers (Cole and Micah) jitz are far beyong his. Junie will get either sub’d or TKO’d. Its Cole’s choice.
Funny too, how these guys get hard fights, and Bader gets Caramel Marrelo and Philipe gets Kyle Bradley (0-2 in UFC).
And WHY THE HELL is Ricardo Almeida/Horwich fight shown over Tyson Griffin?

Why in the world isn’t Tyson Griffin on the televised program??? He’s so exciting to watch!

i just noticed on ufc.com they moved the griffin/dos anos fight to televised, instead of tibau/stephens. much better imo.

I think they need to show the Jesse Sanders vs. Brock Larson. It Sanders debut fight. He is an animal. And he is from my hometown, Oskaloosa,IA. Yeah Yeah.
