Mike Brown is a legend. But the fact that Aldo beat him for the title in 2009 and is still competing at the highest level 15 years later is absolutely blowing my mind
I had the pleasure of going to school with Mike. He has always been a warrior and this so SO WELL DESERVED. Coach Reece is looking down beaming with pride. Bravo Mike!
I can vaguely remember a video of Brad Pickett and Mike Brown living together back in the day where one of them was playing World of Warcraft all day outside of training . He seems like an easy going guy who has a passion for the sport, clearly in his element as a coach. I was at WEC 34, looking back that card was absolutely stacked.
Mike, GREAT VIDEO and so well deserved. I still remember that flying elbow you ducked and knocked out UF. I woke up my entire neighborhood screaming for you. You have always loved fighting, every kind, even pillow fighting 🤣- Proud of you my man - Da Rookie
Great guy. Great fighter, even better coach. Best fighter in his weight class when he was fighting is a bit of a stretch though. That would be Dominick Cruz
Seen this guy at NYNY in Las Vegas after Ufc 300 didn’t talk to him but he was shaking hands and taking pics e the fans seems really chill and cool he was w Kayla Harrison
I wana c gambred and the diamond fight, just bcuz their styles would b amazing to watch head to head, bad ass fight, lov'em both huge fan, but I just wana c a beautiful brawl
Funny how things can look so different in hindsight. I was one of those guys that watched the early tapes of the UFC championships. I was definitely a casual during a time period we're almost everybody was a casua l then I Scarlett singing the WEC regularly and following fighters and somehow the first fighter I gravitated to was Urijah Faber. I was so pissed off when Mike Brown beat him because I really liked Faber's style and his kind of unusual movement an unusual grappling. It was unusual for me because I didn't know anything about grappling. Then out of nowhere some weird redheaded guy takes out my guy and I couldn't stand him for years. It's been a long time now so I'm willing to forgive him. 😂
I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967716649494 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i.. i.I.|-◖˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛'''''''''''''˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛˹˛..;;،،::..;;،،::..;;،،::..;;،،🎉
"A Champion who builds Second Place Fighters" is a more apt title I think. Two lost title matches for Jorge and three lost title matches for DP doesn't equal champion, even though I would have loved both to win at least once😒
Always will be a fan of brown after he K.O'd faber then kicked his ass all over the cage in the rematch. They were trying to push faber as champion so bad, but mike had other plans.
This tile is as biased as it gets lmao. Mike brown has never been a champion in any relevant org. he was a nobody in the ufc, has a few good runs but besides that... gate keeper at best. he's a champion of nothing.
the UFC did not have a FW division at the time, and the WEC had the best FW division in the world, and he was the champion of it. give the doc a watch, you'll learn a lot.
If Mike Brown isn't already in the hall of fame as a coach, he should be
Mike Brown is so humble and grounded, it's easy to see he is truly passionate about the sport of MMA and the fighters he coaches.
Can't wait to share this one with the world brother 📺🔥
Mike Brown is a legend. But the fact that Aldo beat him for the title in 2009 and is still competing at the highest level 15 years later is absolutely blowing my mind
"And 1 BMF" got a laugh out of me 😂
Great work Will!
they should of just left that shit out
This is my bro Cassius Corrigan project. We collaborating on releasing it on AOAF. I look to do that more
@@AnatomyofaFighter appreciate that fam 🤝 amazing collaboration.
You don't appreciate someone like Mike Brown until you see an expose like this.... Class video for a class guy.
Mike Brown is a Legend
I had the pleasure of going to school with Mike. He has always been a warrior and this so SO WELL DESERVED. Coach Reece is looking down beaming with pride. Bravo Mike!
The love all the fighters have for him is evident.😊

Phenomenal episode. There's so much greatness in this short episode. You know he's so special when you hear his students and peers talk about him.
So cool that Will Harris is allowing other directors on his channel.
Very proud of Mike's accomplishments, Congratulations
Thanks for shining light on Mike Brown. He is the proverbial shit.
More of this. This is great
Always nice to see Mike get some shine

more coaches deserve recognition
The quality is really really good in these vids Will. #TopNotch
Anatomy of a Fighter is back.
14:45 "I would do it for free, I would get hungry but I would do it for free"
I found this very powerful too.

Mike, GREAT VIDEO and so well deserved. I still remember that flying elbow you ducked and knocked out UF. I woke up my entire neighborhood screaming for you. You have always loved fighting, every kind, even pillow fighting 🤣- Proud of you my man - Da Rookie

Remember Mikey as a wrestler from Bonny Eagle. Super great representation of a down to earths talented Mainer

Fantastic!
Great guy. Great fighter, even better coach. Best fighter in his weight class when he was fighting is a bit of a stretch though. That would be Dominick Cruz
Letsss gooooo 🔥

This is very smart of AOAF to allow other creators to promote their art on this brand.
Seen this guy at NYNY in Las Vegas after Ufc 300 didn’t talk to him but he was shaking hands and taking pics e the fans seems really chill and cool he was w Kayla Harrison

👏👏
Awesome video as per usual..Thank you
Please do one on Hunter Cambell/Sean Shelby & on the match making aspect/behind the scenes 🙏 🙏 🙏
I’m Japanese MMA run.
Mike!Thank you supporting for Kyoji 👍
Was one of my favorites baq den
I found out who he was against Faber. He’s a rockstar coach.
Look at all of that Talent at ATT.
I remember when he took the belt off Faber, he has been around forever with a ton of knowledge as evidenced by how well his athletes do.
insane video
The rise of Hank Scorpio
I wana c gambred and the diamond fight, just bcuz their styles would b amazing to watch head to head, bad ass fight, lov'em both huge fan, but I just wana c a beautiful brawl
I remember Mike beating people up in the WEC
I really think Dustin could be the next Mike Brown and be an Amazing Coach.
Jorge " ya know" Masvidal
Bo and Arman are the next big stars out of American Top Team.
💯
Dan Lambert might be the coolest gym owner ever.
Grant Dawson in the house
Being a MMA coach has to be a tough thing on your personal life.

Will, are you going to document Umar vs Cory?
05:45 classical + Makhachev vs. Volkanovski
Are there any more plans to do Rising Stars Arabia on this channel
He did what Uriah Faber wanted to do more or less?

When are you going back to Dubai?
It's sad that Mike doesn't have a wife and kids. Seems like such a great guy. He would be a good husband and father.
Anyone who thinks it's only about skill, and not about social connections is clueless.
y'all gotta edit out his street address from the 1st frame
I wonder what Colby Covington and Mike relationship is these days?
Jorge Masvidal better win this weekend against Nate Diaz.
"A Champion who builds Second Place Fighters" is a more apt title I think. Two lost title matches for Jorge and three lost title matches for DP doesn't equal champion, even though I would have loved both to win at least once😒
Lol. What about Amanda Nunes (female goat) & Joanna?
Mike man I know you feel like Dan created everything, but to everyone else we think you have created it. If that makes sense….
Kayla Harrison will become champion one day in the UFC.
You guys don’t post enough, when will we see more Islam and Khabib.
Always will be a fan of brown after he K.O'd faber then kicked his ass all over the cage in the rematch. They were trying to push faber as champion so bad, but mike had other plans.
🔥💯
He would have been average at pfl or bellator at best
WEC was not the top of the mountain
at the time it was. had the consensus best FW division in the sport (hence, the UFC acquiring it and making their FW division the UFC FW division)
Kayla vs Amanda Nunes in 2025
this vid feels like AI. needs better writing
interesting, what about it feels like AI to you?
This tile is as biased as it gets lmao. Mike brown has never been a champion in any relevant org. he was a nobody in the ufc, has a few good runs but besides that... gate keeper at best. he's a champion of nothing.
the UFC did not have a FW division at the time, and the WEC had the best FW division in the world, and he was the champion of it. give the doc a watch, you'll learn a lot.
@@CassiusTheShowwell done, you answered my statement. He’s won nothing from a relevant org. Nice try.
Drug cheat. Isn't this all eyepokes and 190 rule play fight where you can't even push?
Super dope
I'd like to train with him.🤔🥊👊🏻🤼🥋
Gamrot 🇵🇱💪
