UFC Fight for the Troops: Rani Yahya Beats Mike Brown

by Michael David SmithFormer featherweight champion Mike Brown has lost his second UFC fight in just three weeks.

Brown, who was hoping to bounce back from a split decision loss to Diego Nunes at UFC 125, instead dropped a unanimous decision to Rani Yahya at the UFC Fight for the Troops 2. Brown is now on a two-fight losing streak and has dropped four of his last six, and it's fair to wonder how much the former champ has left.

Yahya snapped a two-fight losing streak of his own and looked good in the process. He'll be a fighter to keep an eye on in the UFC's new featherweight division.

"It was a very tough fight," Yahya said afterward. "Mike is a winner, he's a warrior. He's a 35-year-old warrior that took a fight on two-week's notice and fought at the last UFC, so he should get credit for that."
