UFC welterweight contender Matt Brown suffered a third-round submission loss to Demian Maia in the headlining bout of yesterday’s UFC 198 prelims in Curitiba, Brazil.
During his walkout to the octagon, Brown was grabbed and hit by fans in attendance which understandably caused him to get angry.
According to a report from former UFC fighter Brian Stann, things got even worse for Brown following last night’s event, as “The Immortal” was attacked inside his hotel.
Random fan runs into hotel, hits Matt Brown, and runs. Matt's friend catches him. Wow

Not a random fan. Guess it is a guy who has had a long time grudge w/ Matt, old coach or something, odd. Security has him now

Apparently the man who assaulted Brown inside of the hotel was an ‘old coach’ who carried with him a serious grudge.
Brown’s attacker was taken away by security.
