NEW YORK – It’s been a little over three years since former WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown last stepped in the Octagon. He fought Steven Siler in Boston in his last fight on the same night that Irishman Conor McGregor made his North American debut against Max Holloway.
And in some ways that passing in the night, the loud one coming with the quiet one going, is emblematic of the times. Brown is now a coach at American Top Team who is in New York to corner Dustin Poirier in his fight with Jim Miller.
