By Anthony De Franco  November 29, 2009, at 5:15 pm  Well, the good news for Junie Browning is that he won his fight on Saturday night. He was fighting for the first time since his mental breakdown got him released from the UFC, and defeated Tae-Kwon Do black belt Steve Cornwell. Always good when you are fighting guys who have skill sets that fundamentally don’t work.
The bad news is that they gave him a microphone after. In typical Junie Browning fashion, he screwed everything up by being insane. Here’s what he said, courtesy of MMA Mafia:
According to Jack Bratcher of Pro MMA , who was covering the event in Florence, Indiana, when “The Lunatik” was handed the microphone post-fight, the boos rained down and Browning responded in kind, stating “I try to come out here and put on a show. If you don’t like it, then f@*k ya’ll,” before adding “Ladies, after this I want two lines, one for s*@king and one for f*@king.”
While Junie needs to win, he needs to prove that he isn’t crazy more than anything else. After all his escapades on TUF, and then him assaulting nurses and threatening to rape and kill them, it’s really not okay if he does anything that would make Dana White even think twice. He should be locking himself in his house when he isn’t training or fighting.
At least he was asking the ladies for consensual sex this time.
By Anthony De Franco November 29, 2009, at 3:16 pm Here’s an interesting article from PFT. Got a few million dollars hanging around? Then you can own part of the worst run franchise in the history of sports!
As a world of children and grown-up children who act like adults so the children won’t get scared begin to make out their Christmas wish lists, here’s a item for consideration.
A 10-percent stake in the Oakland Raiders.
Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the the team is trying to sell that amount of franchise, in an effort to raise money.
We’ve separately learned that, while a partial sale is possible, the efforts aren’t yet fully active. No investment firm has been engaged, for example, and no aggressive attempt has been made to scare up a buyer.
Per a league source, the reality in Oakland is that the limited partnership contains several aging members (or, in some cases, the widows of deceased members). Some of the members might want to dilute their interest in the team.
So, here’s the plan: If someone is willing to back us, Jason and I come up with a big plan to basically rebuild the Raiders. It may or may not involve creatively getting rid of Al Davis. We’re kidding. As if he could be killed by conventional weapons.
By Anthony De Franco November 29, 2009, at 2:28 pm Jose Aldo wasn’t a name that everyone knew until his flying knee nearly decapitated Cub Swanson. Now, he’s the WEC featherweight champ and Zuffa is going out of their way to make him a marketable name, and may even put Faber v. Aldo on pay-per-view.
Here’s the Dethrone Royalty shirt that he wore to the cage when he won the belt from Mike Brown:
It’s not fighter specific, but really none of Dethrone’s shirts that aren’t Cain Velasquez’s are. There’s a lot of silver foil on the shirt, which looks really cool. There’s a graphic of a dude getting punched in the face, so that’s always cool.
MMA Warehouse has it for 38.99
