Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently booked an outstanding welterweight match up pitting Matt Brown against Demian Maia for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 87 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, expected to take place on May 14, 2016 in Brazil.
UFC senior vice president Giovani Decker (via MMA Fighting) announced the pending showdown on Monday.
Brown (20-13) hasn't been seen since his first-round submission win over Tim Means at UFC 189 last July. "The Immortal" has been dealing with injuries that at one point, were severe enough to boot him from the promotion's return trip to Mexico.
