The very first color commentator of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Jim Brown, has died at the age of 87.
first reported of Brown’s passing on Friday, stating that the football great “passed away peacefully” in his home in Los Angeles on Thursday night, with wife, Monique, at his bedside. While known for a litany of accolades over his storied lifetime, Brown made his appearance as the first color commentary on a UFC broadcast, sitting along with play-by-play caller Bill Wallace and fellow commentator and martial artist Kathy Long at UFC 1 in 1993.
Brown had a reputation for being one of the toughest players on the field, playing as a running back for the Cleveland Browns while racking up a tremendous amount of achievements. The 1957 NFL Rookie of the Year winner went on to earn nine Pro Bowl assignments, accounting for every year of his career, and he helped the Browns win the Super Bowl in 1964. Along the way, Brown led the NFL in rushing yards for eight of his nine years active.
Brown continued, “These guys are experts in what they do, they trained for years, they’re champions. They know things that nobody knows.”
