Junie On Efrain's Fight, "I fell asleep half way through..."
 Following an impressive victory over Dave Kaplan and a televised apology to Frank Mir -- even though he had been openly critical of Mir all the way up to The Ultimate Fighter Finale on Saturday night -- bad boy Junie Browning is still trying to get under the skin of his Ultimate Fighter 8 cast mates.
One win off the show and Junie believes he should get a rematch with Efrain Escudero, who won the lightweight division's Ultimate Fighter with an impressive performance against Phillipe Nover on Saturday night.
"I definitely would like to get a rematch now (with Efrain), you know what I mean? That was my 20% and I feel like I performed pretty good. If I go train, it wouldn't even be close, for sure," Junie told MMAWeekly.com later that night.
As for Efrain's performance, Junie gave his housemate some credit, but didn't indicate that he was particularly impressed. "I fell asleep half way through, so I didn't get to see it all. It was a smart gameplan, taking Phillipe down; he has strong punches. I give him credit. It's hard to defend his takedowns if he sets 'em up good. If I ever fight him again, that won't be a problem."
But his assessment of Efrain was the least of his critical comments. He had more for the entire cast of The Ultimate Fighter 8, believing he is head and shoulders above them all.
"The way I looked tonight, I'll be twice as good my next fight and then twice as good after that and then twice as good... I'm gonna keep improving. That's the difference between me and the rest of the guys in the house," he assessed. "I have the potential to improve. I don't think the rest of the guys have... open mind sets enough to go different places and improve certain points of their game."
And we all know that was Junie's point of strength on the show, his open mindedness...Labels: Efrain Escudero, Junie Browning, The Ultimate Fighter, Ultimate Fighter 8

Ultimate Fighters Plot To Send Junie Home!
 Junie Browning has become the focus of The Ultimate Fighter 8 and has turned the Spike TV reality show house upside down with his antics, drinking and aggressiveness toward his housemates. Light heavyweights Ryan Bader and Eliot Marshall confirmed on MMAWeekly Radio Thursday night that a plan was launched to rid The Ultimate Fighter house of Junie Browning.
"Krzysztof was like, 'You know what? We're going to make him go home for sure. I'm going to get him to swing on me and just try to rile him up a little bit,'" Bader told MMAWeekly Radio. "Junie thought he was out. You throw a glass at somebody and break it on somebody, you think you're out. He was trying to go out and bring people down with him."
"Kristof said he would take a punch just to get Junie out of the house so we didn't have to put up with him anymore," added Bader.
Fellow house guest and Junie Browning teammate Eliot Marshall confirmed Bader's statements. "That was our plan. We kind of had all set that up. After Junie threw the glass at Kyle and was walking around with a bottle, we were all like, he needs to go. Lets get him to punch us in the face. We were all kind of egging him on that way to try to get him to go home.
"Our plan was to get Junie to fight, fight somebody, punch somebody. That way he would get kicked off. That was the plan," added the Colorado fighter.
Efrain Escudero also confirmed the plog against Junie Browning.Labels: Efrain Escudero, Eliot Marshall, Junie Browning, Ryan Bader, Spike TV, UFC, Ultimate Fighter
