With all of the controversy surrounding Browne, it will be interesting to see when or if the UFC will even book him anytime soon.
A company never wants bad publicity especially with the well-documented history of the UFC’s early days. Media loves to pick on MMA, so the UFC has to be wise when they book Browne’s next fight. Just look at the way they handled his alleged domestic dispute with his wife.
