Matt Brown

Matt “The Immortal” Brown is the Ohio welterweight who overcame addiction and an overdose before reaching the UFC through The Ultimate Fighter 7 in 2008. He became famous for his elbows and his seven-fight winning streak in 2012 and 2013, which put him in the top five.

He held the record for most knockouts in UFC welterweight history when he retired in 2024, and his wars with Robbie Lawler and Erick Silva are fan favourites. CagePotato covered his comeback story and his brawls.
