UFC 244 went exactly according to plan, according to American Top Team coach Mike Brown.
Speaking to MMA Fighting following Jorge Masvidal’s three-round thrashing of Nate Diaz at Madison Square Garden, Brown said ‘Gamebred’ executed a near-flawless gameplan and believes a rematch would play out in much the same way.
“Honestly, it went a lot like we expected,” Brown said. “We were confident. We thought [Jorge] was better in those areas. We thought it would look like that. We thought Nate would be tough as hell. We thought it would be nearly impossible to put him away and everything kind of was as we expected.
