""To be honest, I've toyed with this and I've talked to some people," Brown said. "Maybe post part of my career, I'd love to partake in something like UFC or even boxing. I've talked to Dana White about some stuff, but we'll see as things go on. We'll see.""
""He's ... training at the [UFC PI], the last couple days he was over there working on his Muay Thai," White said. "I think it's awesome these guys want to try and fight.""
"According to ESPN's Brett Okamoto, White thought Brown was "messing" with him at first. But there appears to be some "serious" interest from Brown in the sport, according to the report."
