Matt Brown has put his name in the conversation to spar Jake Paul.

Paul wasn’t happy with Paddy Pimblett’s claims that his fight against Anderson Silva was rigged. The YouTuber-turned-boxer challenged the English native to a sparring match with some rewards for the winner.

In a Twitter video, Paul says he will pay $1 Million if he loses. If he wins, Pimblett will have to join his United Fighters Association.

The UFC welterweight has offered to join in on the preposition. He responded to the boxer’s tweet with a simple message.

Matt Brown Applauds Jake Paul For Fighting Tough Opponents

Brown did give credit to Paul for boxing “tougher guys” then most people at the stage of his career.

“Look the fact is if you look at the vast majority of pro boxers’ careers, I don’t want to pump up Jake Paul too much, but he’s fought tougher guys than 99 percent of pro boxers in their first [six] fights – regardless [of] whether these guys are real boxers or not,” Brown said on The Fighter vs. The Writer.

“Most guys’ first four pro fights outside of the [Vasyl] Lomachenko’s of the world and guys like that, they’re not fighting world-class athletes. Tyron Woodley, [Nate Robinson], even Ben Askren, Anderson Silva, these guys are world-class athletes. You can’t take that away from Jake Paul.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

The 41-year-old mixed martial artist made his UFC debut in 2008. He holds the record (12) for most knockouts in the welterweight division. He has also been in the most fights (29) in the division’s history.

Paul has beaten every mixed martial artist that he’s faced in the boxing ring. Opponents include Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren. He has yet to respond to Brown’s tweet.

Matt Brown Tells Story of Fake UFC Doctor That Caused His First and Only Weight Miss

A beloved UFC legend, Matt Brown is known for his deadly striking and ‘never say die’ attitude in the cage. However, it’s also impressive to think despite all his professional fights; Brown has only missed weight a single time. And now, he’s revealing the strange story that caused the weight miss. “I missed weight one […]

“I missed weight one time in my life, and there’s a funny story behind that.” Matt Brown told MMA Fighting. “It was when I was fighting Robbie Lawler, and I didn’t have time to cut the weight. It was back when they were at 4:30 (the weigh-ins). I had to get on the bus, and I called Bert, and I said, ‘man, I need like 20 more minutes. I got half a pound to go.’”

“He said, ‘no, you gotta get on the bus right now. You’ll have an hour after the weigh-ins (to make weight)’,” Brown recalled.

The Bizarre Story of a Fake UFC Doctor that Caused Fighters like Matt Brown and More to Miss Weight

“So I go there, get weighed in, and I’m sitting in the back, and this guy is like posing as one of the doctors. And he said: ‘I seen you out there cutting weight. You can’t cut any more weight. You need to rehydrate’ So, I started drinking water,” Matt Brown declared.

“Dana comes over like 5 minutes later,” Brown continued, “And he’s like: ‘hey, did somebody just tell you not to cut weight?’ He goes, ‘that dude is not a doctor. I don’t know who that guy is’ And I guess he told somebody else not to cut weight either… And that was the last I heard of it.”

Matt Brown would say that he told Dana White he could attempt to cut more weight and was just basically following the “fake doctors” orders. Of course, Brown didn’t know the doctor was fake until it was too late, so Brown said that Dana and the UFC basically brushed the whole strange series of events aside.

What was even more strange is apparently, the fake UFC doctor told multiple fighters to stop cutting weight that day, and Brown wasn’t the only one unfortunate enough to get bamboozled by the fake doc.

Is this the strangest story you’ve ever heard from the MMA world? If not, what is?

Two fights including UFC veterans have been added to the upcoming schedule of events with live crowds.

Brown Rebooked Against Barberena Re-Booked For Hometown Event

Matt Brown’s previously attempted fight against Bryan Barberena is back on the schedule, and it is set to happen in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, USA. The matchup is set to happen on March 26th, per Damon Martin of MMA Fighting.

Brown was previously booked to face Barberena on a December “Fight Night” card. That fight didn’t come to fruition, as a positive COVID-19 test forced Brown out of the lineup. They were still able to find Barberena an opponent for that event, as he beat UFC debutant Darian Weeks on scorecards.

Brown is riding the momentum of a finish win he earned against Dhiego Lima in June. The loss put him back to his winning ways for the first time since 2019. He entered the bout on a two-fight losing streak, including an early 2021 bout against fellow veteran Carlos Condit.

Green vs. Haqparast Scheduled For UFC 271

The always-active Bobby Green will return for his first fight of the new year at UFC 271, facing Nasrat Haqparast in a lightweight bout. The matchup was first reported on Thursday by Walter Salcido.

Green finished his year on a high note in November, putting away Al Iaquinta in the first round with punches. This performance snapped a two-fight skid for the veteran, which included a tough three-round battle against the rising Rafael Fiziev.

Haqparast will be aiming to return to the win column in this fight. He lost his last fight on scorecards, going three rounds against Dan Hooker at UFC 266. Haqparast was on a strong two-fight winning streak before then, handing UFC newcomers Alex Munoz and Rafa Garcia both their first loss.

Do you have a prediction for Green vs. Haqparast and/or Brown vs. Barberena?

Matt Brown Open To UFC Homecoming In Ohio Vs. Kevin Holland

UFC veteran Matt Brown wants to fight in front of his hometown fans on the upcoming Columbus, OH card and is open to a matchup with Kevin Holland.

Brown was originally slated to face Bryan Barberena on one of the final UFC cards of 2021 but pulled out after testing positive for COVID-19. While he didn’t experience any severe symptoms, he was sick enough to the point where fighting wasn’t a realistic option.

Brown is now fully recovered from the virus and is planning on his return to the Octagon. The 40-year-old Brown is looking to earn a second-straight win after knocking out Dhiego Lima earlier this year.

Brown wants to check another item off his bucket list by fighting on the upcoming Fight Night card on March 26 in Columbus. During a recent interview with MMA Fighting, he tabbed Holland as a potential opponent for his return.

“[Kevin] Holland is a tough guy with a good name,” Brown said. “That would be a great fight or anybody else. I’m not really too picky. I don’t really pick and choose. I say put a guy in the cage with me and tell me where to be and I’ll be there.

“If he wants to fight, we’ll fight. If they give me the call, I’m down. Let’s make it happen, Columbus, March 26. Let’s go.”

Kevin Holland Responds To Matt Brown’s Callout

After mixed results at middleweight, Holland has turned his attention to a cut down to welterweight for the foreseeable future. He most recently competed against Kyle Daukaus in October in a fight that was controversially ruled a no-contest after a head clash.

Holland heard about Brown’s comments and conveyed his interest in the possible matchup.

“I was thinking February 5th,” Holland said in an Instagram post. “Two big mouths on one card. Definitely a respectful callout, OG.”

Holland and Brown are both appearing to be chomping at the bit for a return to the Octagon. With the two fan-favorites currently unbooked, there does not seem to be anything standing in the way from this fight becoming a reality.

Matt Brown to Make UFC Return Against Fan Favorite Bryan Barberena

An exciting matchup for the fans between UFC brawler Matt Brown and Bryan Barberena is set to take make during a UFC Fight Night event on Dec. 4, as first reported by MMA journalist Marcel Dorff. The venue hasn’t been selected yet, but it’s expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, […]

Brown is coming off of a knockout win over Dhiego Lima at UFC Vegas 29, earning a one-punch finish in the second round. He’s competed against some of the best fighters in the UFC’s welterweight division and is still going strong at 40 years old.

Barberena has lost three of his last four but remains one of the toughest outs in the division. He most recently lost to Jason Witt by majority decision in July and is looking to get back on track in the welterweight picture.

Brown first made his run to the UFC after defeating Matt Arroyo on The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale back in 2008. He followed it up with a string of wins and losses but holds wins over former title challenger Stephen Thompson and UFC legend Diego Sanchez.

Brown faces Barberena, a fan favorite in many eyes of UFC fans. Both fighters come forward with an exciting style that could potentially be an early contender for Fight of the Night.

Along with Brown vs. Barberena, the UFC Fight Night card will also feature a massive light heavyweight bout between rising stars Jamahal Hill and Jimmy Crute. Both are coming off of tough losses at UFC 261 and are looking to end 2021 on a high note.

Both Brown and Barberena desperately need a win for their UFC records and enter December with a lot on the line.
