Junie "The Lunatik" Browning (born May 12, 1984), also known as Junie Allen Browning or Allen Browning, is an American mixed martial artist.

He was a participant on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Nogueira vs. Team Mir.

Junie was a fighter on The Ultimate Fighter reality show. in his elimination bout, he defeated Jose Aguilar by TKO; not answering the bell for the second round. He then was the first pick of the Lightweights for Team Mir. Junie Browning was also successful in his quarterfinal match-up with Rolando Delgado, winning by decision after 3 rounds, dropping and nearly finishing Delgado in the second round.

While Junie trained with team Mir, he repeatedly stated that other members on the team, namely future opponent Dave Kaplan, refused to train with him due to his intensity during training. During an interview, he stated, "I think I've actually gotten worse since I came here." Browning also struggled with his anger management while on the show. He was warned twice for actions on the show due to his alcoholism and anger problems; throwing glass cups at both Kyle Kingsbury and Shane Primm.

Junie was defeated on the last episode before the finals by Efrain Escudero. He ended the show by promising to be back as a fighter after originally saying he "should flip burgers".

On December 13, 2008, Junie took on fellow Team Mir castmate Dave Kaplan on the main card of The Ultimate Fighter 8 Finale; winning by armbar. Browning and Kaplan both won $25,000 for fight of the night. Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg repeatedly stated how Browning's striking and footwork had improved dramatically since his appearance on The Ultimate Fighter season 8. As a result, Browning is currently in talks with Dana White, negotiating a contract, albeit with heavy stipulations, which will allow him to become an official UFC fighter.

Browning will likely return at UFC Fight Night 18 and is scheduled to meet Cole Miller.
