Matt Brown is down to fight either of the Diaz brothers.

The welterweight veteran returned to the win column with a surprising knockout of Dhiego Lima on the main card of UFC Vegas 29 last night.

At 40 years of age, Brown has no plans to stop fighting anytime soon and when quizzed about potential opponents, “The Immortal” was very open to a fight with Nate or Nick Diaz.

“I love the Diaz brothers, and of course it would be a big fight,” Brown said at the post-fight news conference (via MMA Junkie). “That’s one of them fights like, if I took it, it wouldn’t be because I dislike the Diazes or anything. I would take it because it’s a big fight and I respect them.”

While they would certainly be intriguing fights, they seem unlikely as well as the Diaz brothers seem to be only interested in fighting big names or fighters on long winning streaks.

Regardless, Brown just wants to fight — despite previous hints of retirement.

“I love fighting – that’s all there is to it,” Brown added. “I just love fighting. It’s just getting a camp together and putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. That just takes more time, so that’s what determines when I’m able to fight, not as much my desire – because my desire is there.

“I want to come in and do that to a lot of people, what I did tonight.”

Brown has won three of his last five outings overall.

UFC Vegas 29 gave fans some spectacular fights after last week’s monster pay-per-view.

Matt Brown – Performance of the Night

Matt Brown tied three other fighters, including Anderson Silva, for most KO/TKO wins in UFC history with a second-round finish of Dhiego Lima. With a straight right that landed squarely on Lima’s face, the performance was Brown’s eleventh KO/TKO finish in 42 professional fights. Brown, 40, came into the event on a two-fight skid, so he desperately sought a win. Not only did he get it, but it earned him his seventh UFC bonus in the process. Brown could have easily earned KOTN as well, but he did not since that bonus went to Choi.

Marlon Vera and Davey Grant – Fight of the Night

Marlon Vera and Davey Grant put on a total war for three rounds on the UFC Vegas 29 main card. In a highly contested fight, Vera and Grant exchanged vicious leg kicks in the first round. Going into the second, both men continued to mix it up in a battle that went back and forth. As the fight had the highest strike count of the night, there was something for everyone; takedowns, submission attempts, and straight-up violence.

Seung Woo Choi- Knockout of the Night

Seung Woo Choi extended his win streak to three fights, with two wins in 2021. With a little over a minute and a half left in the round first-round, Choi secured the finish against Julian Erosa with vicious ground and pound and the UFC Vegas 29 bonus. The win earned the young fighter his first performance bonus.
