Matt Brown reveals head scratching idea for UFC fight with Derrick Lewis: ‘I would get on my knees and beg’

Let’s just say if Matt Brown (24-19 MMA) was his own match maker, he’d do the unthinkable. Earlier this month, the 42-year-old was able to make some history at UFC Charlotte. Brown entered the Octagon for the 30th time against fellow welterweight veteran, Court McGee (21-12 MMA). ‘The Immortal’ produced a clean performance, scoring a one-punch knockout finish […]

Let’s just say if Matt Brown (24-19 MMA) was his own match maker, he’d do the unthinkable.

Earlier this month, the 42-year-old was able to make some history at UFC Charlotte. Brown entered the Octagon for the 30^th time against fellow welterweight veteran, Court McGee (21-12 MMA).

‘The Immortal’ produced a clean performance, scoring a one-punch knockout finish in round one.

His knockout win against McGee tied UFC heavyweight contender, Derrick Lewis ( MMA), for the all-time knockout record in the UFC at 13.

Even at 42, Matt Brown doesn’t look like he’s slowing down any time soon as he looks to get right back into the octagon to chase history.

Although it may sound insane, the man from Ohio believes he has found the perfect matchup to help him break the UFC’s knockout record. However, it is still unclear who the UFC will realistically pair him with next.”

Matt Brown wants Derrick Lewis at Heavyweight to determine UFC record

During a recent interview on Michael Bisping’s ‘Believe You Me‘, Brown revealed his plan to break the UFC knockout record and who the perfect dance partner would be.

“For my next fight, what I would really like, and I highly doubt it’s gonna happen, but I would love to fight Derrick Lewis. I’d love to go up to Heavyweight. Bro, you’re in, right,” Brown debated.

“This would be the funnest fight ever. For the KO record. It’s winnable. It’s certainly winnable for him. Like, if I get touched, I’m f—king going to the hospital that night, but he’s got to touch me, bro. Heavyweights, it’s harder for them to hit you, man. You can dodge their punches pretty well. They have a hard time dealing with us. I would love that challenge. I would get on my knees and beg Dana for that,” Matt Brown continued.

Unfortunately for Brown, he would have to at least until the end of the year for any hopes of that fight materialising, with Derrick Lewis (26-11 MMA) already being booked to fight Marcos Rogerio de Lima (21-8-1 MMA) at UFC 291 on July 29^th.

In spite of that, with the BMF belt returning at UFC 291 anything is possible. So as ridiculous as the idea may seem, I wouldn’t be surprised if a matchup like this happens down the line.

Regardless, Matt Brown’s recent performance and tying the UFC’s knockout record was a momentous moment in his career.

“Honestly, the only cool thing about it is I feel like I’ve been doing this a long time, I’ve put a lot into this and I feel like I’m way better than I’ve even achieved,” Brown explained.

“I feel like I’ve underachieved and I could have done a lot more. I made a lot of mistakes and a lot of things. So when I tied that record with Derrick Lewis, I felt I got a lot of recognition that I felt was kind of lost and that I felt I’ve deserved for a long time. But you have to go earn it. You don’t really get what you deserve, you get what you earn. I feel like I went out and finally earned it.”

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the UFC banner, has been sidelined from the Octagon since fracturing his left tibia and fibula against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021.

Expected to make his Octagon comeback before the close of this year in a welterweight fight against former lightweight title challenger, Michael Chandler, McGregor appeared to take notice of the above-mentioned, Brown’s recent record-setting KO win over Court McGee at UFC Fight Night Charlotte earlier this month.

With both strikers hunting the outright UFC knockout rate record, Brown challenged McGregor to a fight in his comeback outing, which the Dubliner in turn, labelled as “woeful”.

Subsequently, Brown claimed that McGregor had lost a lot of the ability which led him to duel-weight champion status, pointing to apparent drug use and alcohol abuse from the Crumlin native during his time away from active competition.

And he hasn’t f*cking done nothing.”

“Like, everything you see [now] is him drinking or getting coked up or, you know, he’s juiced out of his mind,” Matt Brown explained. “That’s a f*cking bum life to me. All that money don’t make you ‘not’ a bum.”

Conor McGregor is determined to steal the UFC knockout record that both Matt ‘The Immortal’ Brown and Derrick Lewis currently share.

Brown, 42, lived up to his moniker on Saturday night at UFC Charlotte, scoring his 13th career knockout inside the Octagon against fellow veteran Court McGee.

Conor McGregor Has a Lot of Work Ahead of Him to Capture the UFC Knockouts Record

To achieve his goal, Conor McGregor will need to put in some serious work. He currently holds eight career knockouts in the UFC, but seven of those came in his first three years with the promotion. Since earning a second-round knockout against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205, McGregor has only secured one KO which came against UFC Hall of Fame inductee Donald Cerrone in 2020. The win against ‘Cowboy’ also represents his only victory inside the Octagon since becoming a two-division champion in 2016.

After suffering a nasty leg break in the first round of his trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, Conor McGregor is expected to make his return later this year in a highly anticipated clash with high-octane lightweight standout ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler. Before they step inside the Octagon, the pair will coach opposite one another on the 31st season of The Ultimate Fighter, scheduled to begin airing on May 30.

McGregor is yet to re-enter the USADA testing pool for a required six months of screening leaving some fans speculating as to whether or not the bout will ever actually come to fruition.
