Rumor Mill: Matt Brown vs Mike Perry Is The Slobber-Knocker We All Deserve

If this is true, then color me impressed. Talk about great match making. Matt Brown and Mike Perry may be set to lock horns at UFC 207 in Las Vegas later this year. Mike Perry is still pretty fresh as a UFC prospect, but has already done enough to garner interest in his contest. He has a polarizing personality, but can back everything up with some well placed power shots. Matt Brown is an absolute beast and even though he may have lost to Jake Ellenberger in his last outing, it doesn’t change the fact that he has the mentality of a warrior. Matching these two up means guaranteed fireworks in the Octagon. So how exactly do these two match up anyways?

The post Rumor Mill: Matt Brown vs Mike Perry Is The Slobber-Knocker We All Deserve appeared first on Cagepotato.

Well, Matt Brown is a man who knows to fight only one way: coming forward with reckless abandon. While his style may have resembled brawling at one point in his career, at this stage it’s become more of a controlled and technical style that thrives on forward momentum and chaos. When Brown has his man hurt or cornered you can bet a ton of strikes from punches to elbows, to knees and kicks will be flying. Brown has the kind of style that overwhelms individuals and forces them into a defensive shell.

Which makes this match all the more interesting.

From what can be assessed of Mike Perry’s style, one thing is certain. He rarely takes a backwards step and carries his power into the later rounds. Just a couple of weeks ago we got to see Mike Perry demonstrate why he’s such a dangerous opponent as he took out Danny Roberts at UFC 204. What Perry lacks in head movement he makes up for in shear power and aggression. Perry believes in his chin and his power which always makes for a dangerous mix for both him and his opponents. It’s dangerous for Perry to rely on his chin not giving out in order to land his own shots. That said, it gives his opponents a certain amount of fear as he comes forward. They know he has power and if they’re unable to hurt him they can likely become gun-shy. But Matt Brown isn’t the type of man to back down.

Will this dream fight come to fruition or is it just that, a pipe dream?

Matt Brown Opens Up About Recent Bout With Concussions

Matt “The Immortal” Brown has fallen on some rough times inside the Octagon as of late as the longtime UFC welterweight contender has lost four of his last five. He’s also dealt with some hardships outside of the cage as he was diagnosed with his first official concussion in 2015. Brown recently detailed what that

The post Matt Brown Opens Up About Recent Bout With Concussions appeared first on LowKick MMA.

“I had to sit in my room for 10 days with no lights, no loud noises, no TV, no reading,” Brown told MMAjunkie Radio. “Like, literally stare at the wall and do nothing for 10 days, like jail.”

After dealing with this setback, Brown was recently stopped by fellow veteran Jake Ellenberger at July 30’s UFC 201. Brown admits that he had never been dropped by a head shot prior to this bout, which has led him to be ‘extra careful’ regarding his long term health and safety:

“It’s the first time from a head shot that I’ve been dropped in my entire life, and I’ve sparred with heavyweights and big guys,” said Brown. “I hope that I can speak near-full sentences when I’m done fighting.”

“Now that I’ve been through that, I want to be extra careful,” he said.

“The Immortal’s” recent struggles both inside and outside of the cage won’t stop him from chasing his goals, however, and he even said that he’d like to fight at UFC 205 on November 12, 2016 in New York, although he doesn’t know if he’d be physically prepared for that card:

“I would love New York (at UFC 205), but I’m really fat right now,” Brown said.

“There’s still a lot of hunger in my heart,” Brown said. “I’m still pressing toward the ultimate goal. I still, to this day, remember my motivation. I still remember what it’s like to go to a UFC and have that dream in my head.”

Would you like to see Brown continue to make that walk towards the Octagon?

Jake Ellenberger Was Cut By UFC Prior To UFC 201

Heading into last night’s (July 30, 2016) UFC 201 from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, welterweight veteran Jake “The Juggernaut” Ellenberger was going through quite the rough patch. He had lost five of his last six bouts with three of those losses coming by way of stoppage. It was safe to say that “The […]

The post Jake Ellenberger Was Cut By UFC Prior To UFC 201 appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Speaking on FOX Sports 1 after the event, UFC President Dana White said that the UFC had briefly cut Ellenberger, but that the longtime veteran begged for more chance:

“I didn’t know what to expect from him,” White said. “I said in the standup with [UFC commentator Joe] Rogan before the fights started, if he comes out and does what he’s capable of doing, then this is going to be a very fun fight.”

“With the UFC, we had cut him,” White added. “He flew out to Las Vegas and he met with me and said, ‘Don’t cut me, please.’ He said, ‘Give me one more shot. I promise I will come out and deliver.’”

Ellenberger undoubtedly delivered, as he came out strong in the first and blasted his opponent, No. 9-ranked Matt Brown, with a body kick that dropped “The Immortal”. “The Juggernaut” followed up with a flurry of strikes to end the bout in the very first round. Many had expected Brown to get the job done, but as White stated, Ellenberger showed up:

“We put him against Matt Brown and he came out and delivered,” White said.

Where does “The Juggernaut” go after this victory?
