Matt Brown Returns From Injury

Matt Brown will be making his return back to UFC octagon after an injury-plagued layoff. A torn ACL kept Brown sidelined for a two year period. The tear came before Brown was scheduled to face Carlos Condit at UFC Glendale on April 14th, 2018. During that troublesome time, Brown teased the idea of retiring from MMA altogether.

Brown hasn’t competed in the octagon since 2017. During the bout, he secured a win over Ultimate Fighter winner and UFC veteran Diego Sanchez. The victory came in the form of a devastating highlight reel elbow knockout in the third round.  Brown contemplated retirement following that fight due to alarming symptoms of concussions. Sequentially, he decided to continue fighting on.

Araujo is undefeated in her Zuffa career this fur, as Eye is coming off an unfortunate highlight reel defeated caused by a crushing leg kick via flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko.

No official main event has been associated with the card as of this moment. Only three fights have been confirmed on the card thus far, but expect more to be added in the near future.
