This man shined for a brief moment in the UFC. Had a lot of potential...then it was over. Seems like a good dude, kinda wish we had seen his full potential in the cage.
This guy was the 1ST to beat Michael Johnson in the UFC! That means he's better than Dustin Poirer, Edson Barboza, Gilbert Melendez, Diego Sanchez, Nick Diaz, Robbie Lawler, Josh Koscheck, Anthony Johnson, Phil Davis, Ryan Bader, AND Fedor Emelianenko!!! Dana hall of fame this man PLEASE
I hate this logic lol He beat a very young Menace Mike, before he hit stride. Example , Porier Tapped Brookins in like 2011-2012 something like that. Then , it wasnt until 2016 that Michael beat Porier , see what im sayin. And Brookins beat Mike right before he lost to Porier. So at that time , it went, Porier>Brookins>Johnson Circa 2012. Then fast forward to 2016 where Mike start to hit his prime , now all of a sudden it goes , Michael > Porier > Brookins Circa 2016 lol. Same goes for Artem , Johnson beat Artem in his latest fight to date. Artem probably would have beat Johnson back in 08' as opposed to 2018 when hes 30+ yrs old. That goes for any fighter. If Adesanya beats Bones , does that truly mean Adesanya better than Jones? You have to consider , Jones on the back 9 of his career. Could Adesanya have beat Jones in his prime? We dont know , Id say no though. McGregor knocked out Aldo in 8 seconds , was McGregor a better champion? To me Aldo is the Goat of his Weight class even after losing that fight. Cause See every fighter to sit on top the mountain , eventually he will lose to someone younger and be dethroned , it doesnt mean automatically the guy who unthroned him has a better career now , doesnt automatically grant him a HOF induction. Its continued dominance , its once you get to the top , how long can you stay up there , Brookins was fun to watch , but he never even made it to the top to begin with. He beat a guy who beat a couple guys who made it to the top , you can't use that logic in any sport ever , it doesnt work. Go ahead and call the Raiders the best team in Football cause they beat the SB Champion KC Chiefs the other week. If this was a joke , im terribly sorry for taking it serious and writing an essay , but I swear this like a real life pet peeve of mine 😭I hate when people say team A beat team B and team B beat team C , therefore team A is better than team C , cause its a paradox.
I can hardly recognize him without his long hair , glad to see Brookins doing good he always seemed outa place in mma and fought nothing but killers #respect
There is people like Ronda rousey and then there is people like Michael bisping one achieve his dreams after Plenty of hard losses& the other one quit after 2 losses. It's all a mental game it's all up hear as they see when they Point to their brain
Nice guy who had good physical ability. But just has a lot of other things going in life. A Free spirit. His pod cast didn't last long. Did only 12 episodes (some less than 30 minutes) over 9 months. Went M. I. A. by 2021. Also closed his Twitter and IG accounts he just opened too. Hope he is well and gets the help he needs. 🙏🏻 ✌🏻
I loved his podcast. It helped me through the early stages of the pandemic. So deep. I contacted him on Insta and we exchanged some really nice messages. I was about to ask him to guest on my podcast. Then he disappeared. I hope he's OK cos he seemed to be doing well, with his zoom yoga classes and his girlfriend. I wish him all the best.
