Face says it all: Will Brooks was in absolute disbelief after this early stoppage at Battlefield FC 2

It’s fair to say things haven’t exactly gone according to plan for Will Brooks over the last few years. The American Top Team product (20-5 MMA) exploded into the MMA consciousness while with Bellator, where he shocked Michael Chandler via split decision to win the lightweight title in 2014, then finished him in the rematch to cement his spot at the top of the division.

But the best-laid plans can go awry and, after arriving in the UFC in 2016 with a fair degree of fanfare, Brooks endured a torrid time with the world’s top promotion.

The bigger lesson was to never get comfortable. Brooks (20-4) had trained with Lentz at American Top Team and discounted the idea that his former partner may have been taking notes on his approach to fighting. “I was winning that fight,” Brooks told MMAjunkie Radio. “One of the things I do have to be conscious of is giving respect to the fact that he may notice some things I don’t do as well, or may have a lapse of judgment at times, and he may catch something.
