Prior to his star-making career inside the Zuffa, LLC-owned WEC promotion, Mike Thomas Brown made his name on the local MMA circuits of New England, Ohio, and Florida, running his professional record to an impressive 18-4 with notable victories over Mark Hominick and Yves Edwards. After defeating favorite Jeff Curran in his WEC debut in 2008, Brown was matched up with the man many considered one of the best fighters in the world pound-for-pound, WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber. Brown knocked Faber out in the first round to take the featherweight championship in a major upset. He then defeated Leonard Garcia in the first round of his first title defense, and defeated Faber for a second time in their 2009 rematch over five rounds. Brown is known for his physical strength, suffocating top game, and knockout power.
