Matt Brown is confidant he can do what Robbie Lawler wasn’t able to pull off in 5 rounds and that’s to KO the champ. After Matt Brown and Erick Silva made a strong argument for Fight of the Year, is Matt Brown ready for a shot at the belt? He certainly thinks so, and it would be hard to argue.
“I definitely don’t think it would go to decision. Like I’ve said 100 times, I’m not going to hit him that many times and not knock him out. He’s not going to stay on his feet if I hit him as many times as Robbie Lawler did. I’m a really accurate striker. I hate to eat my own words because I hit Erick Silva a lot of times and he didn’t go down and it went three rounds, but I’ve got to get my groove back. I can knock him out, I guarantee it.” said The Immortal in an interview with Fox Sports.
Brown is setting his sights for the belt while fellow Welterweight contender Hector Lombard is setting his sights for Matt Brown, in hopes that the two will tangle for a number 1 contendor fight, but what about Rory Macdonald, Tyron Woodley and everyone else who’s been making a compelling argument for a shot at the champ? If you’re a UFC fighter who is looking for an easy path to the championship, Welterweight is not the place you want to be. Ever since former champion GSP stepped down and gave up his strap, there’s been a new fire lit in the WW division.
Matt Brown has been training his wrestling, he’s got a chin to stand with the best of them, and he’s no stranger to finishing fights. In his fight against Erick Silva, Brown demonstrated that he can keep his cool in tough situations, that he can fight with patienc, and that it would take a truck to put him away but that’s exactly what he’ll be facing if he gets matched up against Bigg Rigg.
