Warrant Issued for TUF 8's Junie Browning

An arrest warrant has been issued for The Ultimate Fighter 8 lightweight “Lunatik” Junie Browning (3-1) for failure to appear at a hearing stemming from his arrest for battery in Henderson, Nevada in October.

Browning is scheduled to fight Scott Cornwell (1-0) at MMA Big Show: Onslaught at Belterra Casino in Indiana November 28.  MMA Big Show promoter Jason Appletion told Fighters.com Friday morning that he has “no clue yet” whether the warrant will affect Browning’s ability to fight Cornwell at MMA Big Show.

Browning responded to the warrant on Facebook, posting:

“ha ha! just an accident! i thought my court date wasnt untill dec. but im getting it taken care of this week! untill then im on the run! fuck fuck fuck the police! o! and when i made that comment about killing that guy at the hospital and rapein his family they failed to mention why i said that. the male nurse punched …me in the face while I was in restraints like a bitch! so then i said that to him. As you can tell from the pic! and i never hit anyone at the hospital! i was just pushing them away because they were trying to restrain me”
