Matt Brown Assaulted By Fans, Demian Maia And Former BJJ Coach At UFC 198

Poor Matt Brown (pictured). The UFC welterweight was getting hit from all angles this weekend in Brazil. Brown made the trek to jiu jitsu country to fight Demian Maia at UFC 198, so he probably thought that would be the only time he would be assaulted.

Brown turned up the heat during Friday’s weigh-ins when he turned up his middle fingers to the 15,000 Brazilians who pelted him with boos.

Three fans tried to exact revenge when Brown made his way down the octagon aisle by hitting him in the head. The worst incident came from a fan who grabbed Brown so hard by his hoodie that it turned him around.
