Mike Brown Takes on Role as Full Time Coach at American Top Team

Following his second neck fusion and 10th overall surgery, former WEC champion Mike Brown has taken on a full time role as coach at his home camp at American Top Team in Florida.

Brown underwent surgery in mid-September after suffering from extreme neck pain and weakness in his left hand. The surgery was a complete success, but while Brown is on the mend, he’s opted to start looking towards his future away from active competition.

Following his last fight and win at UFC 146, Brown had mulled over the idea of retirement, but ultimately signed a new five-fight contract with the promotion.

While this latest surgery doesn’t rule out Brown’s return to action, he’s decided to take on a more full-time role as coach at American Top Team during his recovery. According to representatives at American Top Team, Brown will be a full-time assistant coach for their pro fight team, and will take on the day-to-day duties of coaching, traveling and cornering fighters coming out of the Florida-based gym.

good for brown. he's an old school dude. still remember when he fought genki. i think it's good he went out with a win. he won the wec title from faber and beat him again in the rematch. he's had a great career.

Seems like a good role for him, he comes off as an intelligent person... Although I still thought he had more to offer in his fighting career.

A lot of the better talent from ATT is moving over to the Blackzillians..... ATT needs to have a good staff in place to stay competitive.
