“The Immortal” Matt Brown may be the hottest fighter on the planet right now. A six-fight winning streak has resurrected Brown’s career from the lowest depths possible.

Not only has Brown won six straight fights, but he’s done so by finishing five of the six opponents he’s faced. What’s made Brown’s winning streak even more impressive is the fact that he’s finished two notoriously tough fighters in Mike Pyle and Mike “Quick” Swick.

He also happened to win both those contests on national television, thus becoming a trendy pick to be put in the mix for a welterweight title shot.
