New WEC featherweight champion Mike Thomas Brown to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks with torn rib cartilage

Five Ounces of Pain has the scoop that :

Viewers of last night’s WEC 36 telecast on VS. may have noticed that new WEC featherweight champion Mike Thomas Brown was in visible pain following his upset first round TKO over Urijah Faber at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

Due to the telecast running long, Brown’s condition was never addressed by announcers Todd Harris or Frank Mir, but FiveOuncesOfPain.com has learned from his manager, Dan Lambert, that Brown in fact suffered torn cartilage in his ribs and had to be transported to a local hospital via ambulance immediately after returning to the backstage area.

Lambert indicated that while the injury is expected to sideline Brown for four-to-six weeks, he’s doing well under the circumstances and that he’s looking forward to defending his newly-won crown.

Could see Brown wincing as he walked out of the ring, and it looked like it really hurt...
The action was fast and furious, and I think it's indicative of the real power involved even at the 145 pound level. Two and a half minutes in the ring with Uriah Faber, and Mike Brown walked out the champion, but it didn't come without a price...
Agree with JCota, Mike earned it, and it was a great fight, but I see that belt changing hands again before 2009 is out. If and when a rematch takes place, I wouldn't bet on Faber making the same mistake twice
