Matt Brown's former BJJ coach Rodrigo Botti was nabbed after allegedly assaulting the fighter outside the UFC veteran's hotel on Sunday morning.
The rift between UFC welterweight Matt Brown and his former Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach Rodrigo Botti has been a heated one since early 2015.
Botti, who trained Brown at the Ohio Combat Club, first accused Brown of assault and tried to press charges. City prosecutors, however, deemed the evidence of assault that was presented were insufficient, subsequently hindering the filed case from moving any further.
On Saturday, after Brown’s third round submission loss to Demian Maia at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brown and Botti crossed paths once again, but this time, in a more violent manner.
