Former UFC Champ Matt Serra Unlikely To Fight Matt Brown, Despite Report

Matt Brown (10-7) told Fighters.com Monday, “I’m not fighting Serra. I’ve got a fight lined up. Can’t talk about it though.”

MMA Weekly reported Monday morning that Brown was a possible opponent for former UFC welterweight champion “Terror” Matt Serra‘s (9-6) return from a disappointing UD to fellow former titlist Matt Hughes (41-7) at UFC 98 in Las Vegas 23 May.

Once described by Fighters.com’s fifth-ranked light heavyweight “Rampage” Quinton Jackson (28-7) as “born to be a fighter“, Brown has racked up three wins versus a single loss in the Octagon since losing to Amir Sadollah (1-1) on season seven of The Ultimate Fighter.

He TKO’d “Drago” Pete Sell (8-5) at UFC 96 in Columbus 7 March.
