Jonathan Brookins (born August 13, 1985) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the featherweight and lightweight divisions. A professional MMA competitor since 2006, Brookins has mostly fought in Florida, as well as competing in The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck. On December 4, 2010, Brookins defeated Michael Johnson to become the Ultimate Fighter and earn a contract with the UFC.

Mixed martial arts career

Background

Brookins was introduced to mixed martial arts after hearing about Charles Bennett. After meeting him and training with him, Brookins made his professional MMA debut against Allen Berube, a TUF 5 veteran. Having only trained in wrestling with Bennett, Brookins surprised himself by winning via KO in under twenty seconds.[1]

Brookins has mostly fought at featherweight, most notably in World Extreme Cagefighting where he lost to Jose Aldo via TKO in the third round. Brookins would later rebound at Bellator 1 where he defeated Stephen Ledbetter via submission (rear naked choke).

Brookins then won two fights in G-Force fights, the most notable being a submission victory over Luis Palomino.

The Ultimate Fighter

Brookins then signed with the wec Ultimate Fighting Championship to compete in The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck.[2]

In the debut episode, Brookins faced fellow wrestler Ran Weathers. Brookins would go on to take a unanimous decision victory in two rounds.[3] Following this, Brookins was selected by Team GSP. Brookins was GSPs second pick and the fourth overall.[4]

Brookins was picked by GSP to face Sevak Magakian in the preliminary house fights. Brookins faked a takedown, which fooled Magakian. Brookins was then able to take down Magakian before attempting a standing rear naked choke. Brookins eventually secured the tapout at 2:04 of the opening round.[5]

In the quarter-finals, Brookins faced Sako Chivitchian. Brookins was able to throw Chivitchian to the mat, which forced Chivitchian to try to stand up. Brookins then got hooks in and worked for a rear naked choke, eventually sealing it soon after, to advance to the semi-finals.[6]

In the semi-final round, Brookins faced team-mate Kyle Watson. In a somewhat lopsided bout, Brookins controlled; mostly on the ground, to take a 30–27 judges decision.[7] The win moved Brookins into the finals against Michael Johnson.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Brookins defeated Michael Johnson at The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck Finale. In the first round, Brookins was dominated on the feet by Johnson. However, he pulled through and used his wrestling to dominate rounds 2 and 3, taking the unanimous decision to become The Ultimate Fighter.

Brookins was expected to face John Makdessi on April 30, 2011 at UFC 129[8], but Brookins was pulled from the bout and replaced by Kyle Watson.[9]

Brookins is expected to face Jeremy Stephens on June 4, 2011 at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale.[10]

On August 10, 2010, Bellator Fighting Championships filed a suit against Brookins' new employer, the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Bellator's allegation was that Brookins had joined the Spike TV reality series The Ultimate Fighter while still under an exclusive contract for Bellator.

Brookins and his manager Mickey Dubberley were also named as defendants in the suit. Bellator's lawsuit requests "exemplary damages on the counts of tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, breach of contract (against Brookins), fraud, business information misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment."[11]

Later that day, Brookins' manager Dubberley denied claims that Brookins was under contract and that they had faked injury to Brookins. Dubberley claimed that Brookins had been verbally released from Bellator and stated "We [Brookins and Dubberley] believe the only reason why Bellator is pursuing anything is because Jonathan is on the 'TUF 12' show, and they want to capitalize for their own profit."[12]
