He was living w/ Tompkins at the time and maybe Couture said there's no way you let Browning back in that gym. Iole's article showed that Tompkins had a serious emotional attachment to Browning and that they were pretty close. Who knows, but very interesting. I highly doubt that he was let go. He's still one of the best mma striking coaches in the game. He's prob opening up his own gym. I wonder if Junie’s recent breakdown had anything to do with it?

His pro record was 0-4 and was tko'd 4 times by strikes. No, seriously I think he is a good coach but maybe he wants to explore new a career so all the power to him. Good Luck Shawn!
