After four more stoppage victories, Brilz suffered defeat for the first time when he was submitted with an armbar by Vince Feilds in September of 2001.

Brilz bounced back from the loss to earn a decision and submission win in his next two respective bouts.

In April of 2003, Brilz fought to a draw with future heavyweight title challenger, Justin Eilers.

By the end of 2006, Brilz had racked up seven more victories which included a stoppage win over Mike Patt, a split decision win over Jason MacDonald and a submission win over Alex Schoenauer.
