Junie Browning is back on his feet and spoke with the media yesterday. RawVegas.tv and Fighters Only both caught up with the fallen fighter. Browning was admitted to a Henderson, Nevada hospital last week after taking 16 pills of Klonopin. He then excerbated his problems by attacking three nurses. Browning was arrested on three counts of misdemeanor assault.
In the RawVegas video, he explains that he's got a lot of demons to deal with and that he's still working on controlling those issues. Browning also apologizes to anyone involved in the incident or that he hurt along the way.
There was no blog that smashed Browning harder for his antics and loss of control during "The Ultimate Fighter" than this one, but I stand by my words last week. The UFC dumping the kid makes little sense. They stuck by Browning during the show with Dana White proudly proclaiming that he felt like the promotion was giving the Kentucky-native a roadmap to a successful life. So why did that change when Browning went on his Quinton Jackson-like binge and rampage last week?

Junie needs to be in a psych ward....try and get his meds adjusted to where he can keep himself from acting out and be stable. Maybe then he can figure out what is actually causing his mental disturbances.
I hope he gets better. Not that I am a fan of his....but I am a fan of overcoming mental illness.

Because Dana White realized Browning wasn't this huge draw he'd foreseen him as so could no longer make money off of him. Dana White's plan was to use Browning to try and target the troubled teen/ troubled young adult demographic. Do you really have to ask us Cofield? Why don't you just grow a pair and post it yourself instead of hiding in your shell and asking us to state the OBVIOUS?

There are thousands, no MILLIONS of people that fight personal demons everyday and probably have it A LOT worse that this little tool. And there are not given 3 or 4 shots at assaulting people, etc, etc like he did on the show. THis kid is LUCKY he doesnt have a couple felonies on his record.
And you want me to feel SORY for him??? Sorry that he was let go by the UFC???? Unbeleivable. This [profane] was given CHANCE after CHANCE after CHANCE and you want me to feel sorry for him. Thousands suicide every month...where is your heartfelt piece on that???? And most of them probably have;nt had the NUMEROUS opportunities this f**K has had.
I cant beleive anyone would feel sorry for this guy. HE couldnt fight to begin with. Dana USED him just for ratings. That Jesse Taylor guy was in teh FINALS and Dana screwed him???? Where is Cagewriters heartfelt cry about??? And Jesse messed up ONCE, NOT 3 or 4 times.
AGAIN, there are MILLIONS of other people that have it worse than JUNIE BROWNING. It is time to forget about this little tool and LET HIM DEAL LIKE EVERYOEN ELSE THAT HAS GOT PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD!!
