    I watched the Ultimate fighter series and i thought he was great and fully deserved to win it.

    I only follow UFC on when i can.

    Somebody tell me something about Brookins since then.

    Has he fought since? Whats going on with him?

    His hasn't fought since winning the show. He fights Jeremy Stephens in June, which will be a very tough fight for him if he hasn't worked hard on his striking defense.

    He was training with BJ for his last fight against Fitch.

    His fighting style of backing up with his chin in the air is going to be absolute suicide against Stephens.

    I thought he had changed his name to Moonbeam and was living in a teepee somewhere getting in touch with his inner child:)

    Stephens is all wrong for him unless he totally changes his defense. There aren't many that are actually worse for him than Stephens, apart form maybe Guillard or Siver. I have no idea how a guy fights as a pro with a good camp for that long and still doesn't have any idea how to move his head.

    Kinda like Lesnar, except I don't think Lesnar's camp is any good.
