Former Bellator lightweight champion Will Brooks learned his lesson against Nik Lentz. There was the immediate one, of course, that came with a brief lapse in vigilance as Lentz grabbed a guillotine choke and forced Brooks to tap in their meeting this past November, signaling the end to his first UFC tenure. 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.
