COLUMBUS, Ohio – Matt Brown is one of the oldest, longest-tenured fighters on the roster, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the end is nearing.
At UFC on ESPN 33, Brown (23-18 MMA, 16-12 UFC) will make his 29th walk to the promotion’s cage and will do so in front of a hometown crowd. Some athletes might be engulfed by the circumstances, but it’s just another night of work for Brown.
“It’s just another night, man,” Brown told MMA Junkie at a news conference. “There’s an area and a cage, and a guy inside there that wants to mess me up. That’s where my focus is, man, is inside that cage, what happens inside there. Me being ready to go and all the other stuff doesn’t matter, but it will be nice after the fight. My kids will be right here with me and all my friends and family, so after the fight is where it really kicks in and it’s cool.”
