Jim Brown Was Honored By the Browns Last Night, Couldn't Get the Same Love From the UFC


I was extremely excited that the Browns could pull out a win on Thursday Night Football last night.  While the Brian Hoyer injury weighs heavily on the excitement, it was great to see a win on Jim Brown night.  Brown was credited afterwards by Head Coach Rob Chudzinski for his mentorship by being awarded a game ball.

However one of the fastest growing sports organizations in the world can also trace the roots of their success to Jim Brown.  Did you remember that Jim Brown was an original member of the UFC announce team?  Yes well before the days of Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan, it was Brown who provided the insight on all of the Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing techniques being used.  I obviously use the words insight rather loosely, because Brown wasn't exactly brimming with knowledge on the fledgling sport, but I will admit I would have never watched it without him.
