Former WEC 145 pound champion Mike Brown was upset in major fashion Saturday night. The ATT fighter came into his first pay per view appearance at WEC 48 against Manny Gamburyan as the heavy favorite. Early into round one however, Brown was stunned by a shot and fell victim to a vicious knockout.

A consummate professional, Brown makes no excuses for his loss and would like to get back on track immediately.

From MMAJunkie:

“I was training good. I just got hit with a shot. It’s never happened before, man. I’ve never been hurt. I bang every day in the gym, and I go hard when I spar every time. I’m bummed, man,” he said. “It’s the first time I’ve ever been knocked out.”

“I don’t want to take time off. I know I have to a little bit. But I’d like to fight on the next show. It just sucks, man. I got hit with one or two punches and got dropped, and they stopped the fight. Five seconds when you get your wits back, you’re fine.”

“I feel like it wasn’t even a fight, which sucks. I could fight today. But unfortunately, that’s not how it works.”

Since entering into the WEC, Mike Brown appeared to be almost unbeatable. With two victories over the most dominant featherweight ever, Urijah Faber, Brown was atop the WEC world. Brown has since lost his title as well as 2 out of his last 3. Anxious to get back to his winning ways however, Brown is sure to be back with a vengeance.
