Brian was fast-becoming the UFC's favorite fighter to rule the featherweight division: he's a heck of a combatant with an all-around game who can be competitive either standing up or grappling. On top of that he's well-spoken, good looking, and a positive role model, and many thought he'd give Max Holloway trouble when the two squared up.

But he didn't — he was completely dominated on the feet by the Hawaiian fighter for five rounds and hasn't competed since. His last fight before his match against Chan Sung Jung was on December, 8 2018, so fans haven't seen him in action for a long time. 

Which is why they were shocked to see his traditional long locks shaved from his head at the weigh-ins.

Brian donated his hair to the Locks of Love for children who are undergoing chemotherapy. Brian also made headlines recently when he got in a strange beef with Chan's manager, Jay Park who's also a K-Pop star, that culminated in the featherweight contender slapping him in the face. 

Brian, in a now-deleted video, didn't apologize for the smack, stating that Jay was generating smack talk on Chan's behalf and stating that Brian "dodged" the fight.

Jay denies ever drumming up smack talk against Brian and added that it's not a good look nor does it make Brian look "tough" for smacking him as Brian's 40 pounds heavier than he is.

Let's leave the fighting to the professionals.
