No TV Again for Mike Brown

Filed under: MMA Media Watch, UFC

Former featherweight champion Mike Brown will fight for the second time this month at Saturday night's Fight for the Troops 2. And for the second time this month, you won't see him unless you're in the building.

The UFC has decided to put Brown's fight with Rani Yahya on the non-televised undercard, and it won't even be one of the fights broadcast on Facebook before the Spike TV portion of the card begins. At UFC 125, when Brown lost a split decision to Diego Nunes, it was one of only two fights on the 11-fight card that wasn't televised, either on the pay-per-view broadcast or the Ion TV preliminary show.

For fans who know Brown both as a former No. 1 featherweight in the world, and as one of the most likable fighters in the sport, that's disappointing. But it's not surprising.
