Possible, like anything, but not recommended.

I don't like braking mid corner. Was at a track day there a week ago, and saw some fine examples in the middle of the gravel, why you shouldn't really be doing that.

If you can do it progressively, ie apply the brakes lightly, load the front wheel, then apply more brake power, then it is less unstabling for the bike, but since you are moving the weight to the small front tyre, which is over on it's side, you can see how thin a line you are on.

Brake and gear change in a straight line, bank the bike over and be on positive throttle to maintain weight transfer to the big rear tyre.
