UFC welterweight fighter Matt Brown has decided to hang up his gloves after nearly two decades in the sport. With 30 appearances in the Octagon and a record of 24-19, Brown has left a lasting impact on the MMA world. Known for his aggressive fighting style and never backing down from a challenge, Brown has become a fan favorite over the years.
In January, Brown celebrated his 43rd birthday and made the official announcement that he would be retiring from MMA. In a statement, he expressed his desire to shift his focus towards serving others and contributing to the growth of martial arts. Brown thanked the UFC and Dana White for their support throughout his career and hinted at pursuing “bigger, better things” in the future.
One of Brown’s most notable achievements in the UFC is his record of 13 knockouts, which is second all-time in the promotion’s history. His explosive fighting style and ability to finish fights in spectacular fashion have earned him a place among the elite fighters in the welterweight division. Despite never having fought for a UFC title, Brown’s impact on the sport is undeniable.
Although there were talks of a potential fight against Jim Miller at UFC 300, the matchup never materialized. Brown’s last fight dates back to May 2023 when he scored a knockout victory over Court McGee. With nine post-fight bonuses to his name, Brown’s willingness to engage in all-out wars inside the Octagon has solidified his reputation as a true warrior of the sport.
As Matt Brown embarks on the next chapter of his life, it is clear that his contributions to the MMA community will not be forgotten. His dedication to the sport and his relentless pursuit of excellence have inspired generations of fighters to push themselves to their limits. While his retirement marks the end of an era, it also signifies the beginning of a new journey filled with endless possibilities. UFC fans will undoubtedly miss seeing “The Immortal” in action, but his legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who have witnessed his incredible journey.
