Man, what a night!!!
Mike pulled off one of the biggest upsets in mma by beating an incredible champion in Uriah.
Everyone on our team knows how tough Mike Brown is, and to watch him pull it off on the biggest stage, in the biggest fight of his life , is truly an amazing experience to be a a part of. It is a a little clicheish, but this could not have happened to a nicer guy. If you know Mike and been around him you know what I'm talking about. Mike has put his life into fighting, and his body has all the battle scars to prove it. We are all just so happy for him.
I know everyone has been asking, Mike tore the cartilage in his ribs, not sure exactly at what point he did this in the fight, and not sure he even knows.
Much respect to Uriah Faber, who is a great great fighter and champion. Uriah and his camp are true class acts. He deserves a lot of credit for what he has achieved as champ and has our utmost repsect.
Also, need to congratulate
Carmelo Marrero. He stepped up short notice and gutted out a hard fought win over a very tough Steve Steinbeiss. We knew going in Steve has very good stand up and comes from a tough camp. Nice win for Carmelo who hung tough and pulled out the win. Congrats buddy!
And to
Rafie Dias, who despite losing showed tremendous heart. Rafie was another guy who stepped up on a weeks notice to fight up a weight. Rafie showed he has the skills and heart, and hope he gets his chance to prove it at 145#'s. Keep your head up!
Mike put everthing he had into this fight. Dreams do come true!! We did it Mike Brown!!!
Mike didn't get a chance but I know he wanted to thank his main sponsors
TAPOUT and
CHAMPION NUTRITION. Those guys really stepped up for him and he is thankful!
CONGRATULATIONS CHAMP!!!
AMERICAN TOP TEAM

Something in that Maine water making guys tough as hell.
They should think about bottling it or something...

I knew if Mike caught him clean it would be over.
TTT for the #1 145er in the world.

Fantastic work from Brown recognizing and capitalizing on that wild back elbow by Faber. I think many fighters would have seen the elbow coming despite its unorthodox throw, but to be able to capitalize on it like Brown did was fabulous.
Great work Mike!
