Matt Brown's recent loss to Demian Maia at UFC 198 didn't deter the promotion from offering the MMA veteran a new contract.
Damon Martin of FOX Sports reported on Wednesday that 'The Immortal' has just inked a new 8 fight deal with the Zuffa-owned organization and will look to return to the Octagon in fine form.
Brown, who was grinded down and eventually submitted by Maia at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil earlier this month, has emerged as a top welterweight contender in recent years and has only lost to the divisional elite.
The Ohio native was on the verge of losing his UFC contract when he dropped three straight in 2010 but rebounded with a sensational 7-fight win streak and catapulted to No.
