Junie Browning prepares for FN 18 bout against Cole Miller (Video)

Junies all saying he’s the main event and all that. I kinda laugh at him and say whatever. I like watching him, because I thnk hes got potential, but I dont think he gets by Cole. Cole will have a huge reach and an advantage in both the striking and the jits. Junie may have the better wrestling, but thats about it. I’d say Cole could win a decision, or submit him.

It has not been reported whether Nick assaulted people outside of the octogan. Junie did and it was filmed.

That may be the difference. Just an opinion from a keyboard warrior…

The Diaz brothers may talk trash, but they have earned the right to by their performances in the ring over the years. Junie is a self-promoting lout with myriad personal problems that he foists on others with his antisocial behavior and who has accomplished nothing in the ring. So it is possible, likely even, for someone to be a Diaz fan and a Junie basher.

chill out guys. No one is going to mistake Junie for a humanitarian of the year award candidate, but he is a young, well rounded fighter, who is training at a top notch camp. No doubt in my mind that he is a born fighter. Once he gets seasoned, he may make an impact, but that is still at least a couple of years away.

Cole is a tough guy. This match up is interesting. I can see these 2 going to war for a fight of the night candidate.

Dave-

Can’t speak for anybody else but the fact that Junie assaulted his fellow cast members and that whole jumping into the octagon thing after Efrain won…

I “reality TV” skews people into good guy, bad guy, etc but it turned me off.

Besides, Junie did not impress. Bottom line. Hopefully, he can prove his doubters wrong.

*I know “reality TV” skews…

No man I wont be going, I live out West and am a little pissed that Dana wont step foot out of Ontario or Quebec. Besides I have 4 kids which includes one brand new baby so I would be hooped regardless.

good for you mcArthur. I am not being sacrastic, I mean that. I enjoy your posts, you know mma. You might have fun from time to time and take a crack at someone, but never in a mean spirited way like many of the trolls on this site have been doing recently.

Enjoy the event. Its an amazing card. Probably the best UFC card outside of the USA to date. If Shogun is in shape, this event will be Phenomenal. an in shape Shogun vs. Chuck is a dream match that I have wanted to see for a very long time. Hopefully wandy’s genius trainer, alejandro has whipped Shogun into shape.

Also, you guys better stop down playing the thales Leites/Silva match up. Majority of this site thinks Silva will just blow through THales. I think its a tougher fight for Silva than many of you seem to think. Put it to you this way. Anderson hasnt faced anyone good in oVER A YEAR. Last meaningful fight he had was Hendo last march. Thales deserves to fight for the title. He may not be the true #1 contender, but he is a top 5 UFC MW for sure.

There is no question that silva edeserves to be a big favorite, but I think THales will pose problems. Thales has spent a lot of time training for this fight over at Arizona Combat, with a lot of great wrestlers like Bader and Dollaway. I just read a new Bader interview and he talks glowingly about tHales’s skills and his new improved wrestling. If thales gets Silva on the ground it could be trouble. Lutter and Hendo took silva down, but thales is on a different level in the ground game. I hope that Anderson is working on tD defense and on defending an arm triangle, because THales is no slouch. Marquardt hit him with everything including all types of illegal strikes and thales continued to press forward. I think the world of Marquardt and I became a fan of Leites after that fight.

You dont have to answer this question, but just out of curiosity, how much did tickets cost you on e-bay?

Cheers Dave!! i got 2 tics for $600 Can. They are floor seats but I haven’t picked them up yet. I’ll let ya know where the seats are when I get em. I was at GSP/Serra as well and it was crazy!!!

Spyder – i have a little on the way too by end of the summer but have somehow convinced Sara to let me go without her…its not what you ask permission to do, its when you ask it. haha…I’d be willing to bet Vancouver will have UFC before Toronto will…i’m in S Ontario so Montreal is still 5-6hrs away at least on a Saturday!

THanks man. $600 bucks for 2 floor seats seems like a great deal to me. Enjoy the event.

ya…on the phone the guy sounded like he just wanted to get rid of them so cha ching!!!

Cha Ching is right! What a sweet deal.

Have a blast at the show and good luck with the new baby when he or she comes, congrats!!!!

Sorry to interrupt your workout, but glad I can bring a little humor to your day. :) (Or humour for our UK readers.)
