Rodrigo Botti believes he's 'even' with Matt Brown after confrontation

Rodrigo Botti admits he attacked Matt Brown the morning after he lost to Demian Maia at UFC 198, but has a different story to tell.

"The Immortal" says he was sucker punched by his former jiu-jitsu coach at the host hotel in Curitiba, Brazil, but the Brazilian denies punching him behind. In fact, Botti claims that Brown saw him the night before when he was visiting a few friends at the Four Points hotel right after UFC 198.

"I saw him the night before (Sunday) because I went to the hotel to see my friends," Botti told MMA Fighting.
