Junie Browning surrenders to Phuket police

Exiled UFC fighter Junie Browning, who was being sought by Phuket police in Thailand for his participation in a bar-room brawl that carried over to a local hospital, turned himself over to authorities late Wednesday night (Dec. 21, 2011) after failing find his way out of the country and back to the United States.

Phuket Wan has it:

Junie Allen Browning visited a police station on Phuket late today in the latest twist to the American fugitive fighter's battle to tell his side of a brawl that started in a bar and continued at a local hospital. Browning's surprise appearance with his girlfriend Laura came at the Chalong Police Station in southern Phuket. At the police station at the same time were others who participated in a now-notorious Phuket brawl. The wounds inflicted in Browning's fight with tourists and staff 10 days ago at a bar on Phuket and in Patong Hospital, where the injured were all taken, were real. However, the varying accounts of what actually took place and who was the aggressor leave the facts yet to be decided. It is believed Browning opted to go to police after he or perhaps his family and friends read an article in Phuketwan in which American Denny Bowman, a Phuket resident and a warden with the US Embassy, suggested that Browning ''surrender.'' None of the people involved in the brawl were held by police tonight.

"The Lunatik" was originally seeking extradition via the United States Embassy; however, his new priority became immediate medical attention to treat the wounds suffered in his attack, which left him in "severe pain" with "fainting and dizzy spells and severe head trauma."

Star-divide

Browning (4-5) gained notoriety for acting like a drunken hick on season eight of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF). He was 1-1 following the conclusion of the Spike TV reality show but was eventually dismissed from the promotion for his legal troubles outside the Octagon.

The Kentucky native has lost four straight fights, including a submission defeat to Jacob Clark at MMA Fight Pit: "Genesis" last August in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

No charges have been filed at this time; however, the investigation by Phuket police is ongoing. His alleged assailants have already provided statements and a mediated settlement is likely at this juncture.

Stay tuned to MMAmania.com as this story continues to develop. In the meantime, you can hear Junie explain how it all went down right here.

pretty sure Danago is Danago

dont think the staff would go that low and outrageoues. Plus, danago has been relatively sensible lately and knows his stuff

wo wo wo slow down there

you may offend some body, but seriously like 6 moths or a year ago their was an entire month dedicated to uncovering his identity, it was uncovered, hence he no longer rants on, because most know who he is and it’s no longer as fun, but yes he was controlled by the staff for their amusement

It got annoying real fast! I never responded once to that loser troll! Some people get off on creating a dif life on the internet or just getting a rise out of people! I miss the old Mania days, before it joined sb nation (or whatever it is.)

Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! But now Tito is closing in! lol Maybe not, but I'm so fn happy that he beat Bader! The excuses were really getting to me, but when he wins, we don't hear about them.

My resume:
I know more than anyone about any possible topic!
I have trained with and beaten most pro fighters.
All inside info about a fighter’s injuries must come through me.
Dana White asks me for advice, daily.
I was world arm-wrasslin’ champion all 5 years that I competed.
I’ve recently been asked to lead the REAL Marvel Avengers team.
I hold seventeen all-time-records in the NFL that will NEVER be broken.
The smallest wager on an MMA fight that I ever made was a quater-mil.
I’ve never really lost a bet.
All guys wanna be me and all women wanna get with me.
I’ve been featured on the cover of Time magazine and GQ twice.
In short, I’ll stop right here and end this never-ending list by just saying………I’m freakin’ AWESOME and those Dos Equis commercials are really about me. They just couldn’t afford me as their spokeman!

SO DON’T BE HATIN’ ON ME, SON!

I admit i give the benfit of the doubt then Ulf started his investigationa nd we all know he’s fucking J. Edgar Hoover.

Yeah looking back, how the fuck would he know about ‘after the jump’ lol

I surely feel dumber today looking back at Jesse having the muddafuckers number. I guess Jesse was a bitter lover who was trying to get the number he deleted to amke sure his favorite fighter is okay lol

Funny how Junie quickly changed stories.....

Day after it happened he went to his facebook and talked about his"helluva a weekend where he broke numerous orbital bones and jaws and laid out a bunch of pussies,

Then abruptly changed his story the next day to him running for his life and claimed he was now attacked by up to 10 people vs himself.

KARMA is a bitch.

Lastly, I’d like to say that if this were any average Joe and his girlfriend like you or I. WE wouldnt have any help from mma sites or anyone at all really. Just because he was a f**k up and throws glasses at people, attacks people, threatens to rape innoncent women, etc, etc, etc…..he gets recognition and maybe some kind of help.

Il bet you something "similar"o this happens all the time when a jackass like Browning act ups in an unfamiliar bar. Jsut saying Junie shouldnt get special treatment cuz he is recognized from TUF, as being a douchebag

Whats even funnier is that some of the people that are here saying "you guys are assholes for believing it was Junie"

Are the same dudes who were on the other thread brown-nosing a made up account, giving him support through his ordeal haha. Anybody that didn’t know it was made up the minute he left the comment calling the guys from BE assholes really are living in a dream world…
