UFC 133: Mike Brown won't 'throw up and die' against Nam Phan on Aug. 6 - MMAmania.com

by Jesse Holland

"It was so frustrating, and it’s not fun. That’s when fights are not fun is when you get exhausted like that. If you’re feeling good and you’re getting picked apart, it almost doesn’t even bother you as much. ... But when you’re just feeling like, ‘I want to throw up and die,’ that’s not a good feeling. I think I was overtrained. I was training really hard and I was getting really tired in both fights for some reason, which isn’t usually the case for me. I was pretty upset. I talked to some doctors and some exercise physiologists because it was pretty bad. It felt like I was getting more and more out of shape as the fight was coming closer, which didn’t make any sense because I never really let off the gas. You just have to know your body. Sometimes you can push it too much, especially if you’re really excited about a fight. I haven’t been fighting well. I know I gotta win. This is it, man. I’m going to train hard and I’ll be ready. We’ll see what happens, but I’m confident. If I perform like I should, we should be all right."

I can't see him losing to Nam Phan

Title made me laugh for some reason hahaha

In all seriousness though Brown NEEDS this win. I still think he can be a real threat in the ever growing division if he can just settle down and get his head straight. I'm sure its easier said then done, but I think he has the well rounded skill set can to make an impact (and at the very least some great mtch ups) in the BW div if he runs through Nam Phan

I like Nam, but something about Mike Brown just makes me want him to succeed so bad. If Brown is right and his last two performances were abberations, the Nam is going to sleep.

After reading what he said in that article, I hope not too hard.
