Yes but Browne presents a unique experience for anyone who's relatively new to "the big time" in that he's going to take you to the limit, even if you're beating the shit out of him. It's an important gauge to see what kind of heart and toughness this kid has.

I still say let's give the guy a few softballs first. . . Jesus, you really want him to fight Matt Brown already?

Might as well see what he's made of. They made Rory fight Condit in his second fight in the UFC. Gotta show these guys quickly that it's going to be a whole different can of worms in the UFC. See how they react to the challenge.

Rory was at least 10-0 at that point with a few wins over guys people have actually heard of.

Actually nobody had heard of his opponents to that point, except maybe people who follow the underground canadian MMA scene. Jordan Mein made his debut against Rory, and Guymon made his UFC debut against Rory. Similar positions, really.
