    This kid is the truth ..I recently watched his fight with Faber and his first title defense ..He's like Matt Hughes with punching power of Tito Trinidad ..Thoughts on this guy ?? Discuss !!

    Just watched the fight and I honestly thought that Garcia would have been more competitive. I was a bit sceptical about Brown when he won the title but after that performance it is crystal clear that Brown is best described as beastly. He has power, good striking, wrestling and submissions.

    Faber-Brown 2 could be the biggest fight in WEC history, especially after this performance from Brown. I am very excited!

    Matt Hughes with Tito Trinidad power is a great description.

    Faber has far more natural and raw talent than Brown. But Brown does everything text-book perfect. He has above-average striking, awesome wrestling, and some solid submissions. He's technically sound in all areas, and that's going to make him tough to beat. Faber's style is more unorthodox and unique.

    Why ? Hes struggled vs some of the good but not great 155ers if he can dominate 145 why not do it ?

    Well let him prove Faber was no fluke then hes got Jose Aldo and maybe even Torres but outside of that little competition now.

    Imperial nice avatar! Oh and Brown is nasty, just vicious. I actualy thought that Garcia would have given him a run for his money, maybe evn win. I won't think like that anymore. As it stands now I don't think Faber can beat him. Faber is good, strong, fast, dynamic but I think eventually he is gonna get tagged by that awesome power Brown holds.

    I've only seen him against Faber and he was solid in that fight. He was calm and concise, and had Faber a little tense early on. Nice KO too...

    After rematching Urijah Faber there is plenty for Brown to do...

    Wagnney Fabiano (11-1)
    Jose Aldo (13-1)
    Rafael Assuncao (12-1)
    Diego Nunes (12-0)

    And if he gets through all those guys there plenty more guys outside the WEC for Zuffa to sign like...

    L.C. Davis (13-1)
    Hatsu Hioki (17-3-2)
    Masakazu Imanari (15-6-1) Rematch

    And there always new guys coming up in the division and LW dropping down from 155. Weight classes exist for a reason as BJ Penn recently found out.
