Matt Brown built his career on a foundation of unbridled ferocity.
Nearing the end of his run in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 7 graduate will collide with Dhiego Lima in a UFC on ESPN 25 welterweight showcase this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Brown has compiled a 15-12 record across 27 appearances inside the Octagon, wins over Diego Sanchez, Tim Means, Mike Pyle, Mike Swick and Stephen Thompson anchoring his resume. However, the 40-year-old has lost seven of his past 10 bouts—a sign perhaps that Father Time has finally caught up to him.
