Matt Brown had a rough time, to say the least, while in Brazil for UFC 198.<\/p>\n
Brown battled with the fans at the UFC 198 weigh-ins<\/a> and during his walk out to the Octagon<\/a>. Then, Demian Maia showed his world-class ground skills by submitting Brown<\/a> in their bout setting “The Immortal” back in his goal of winning UFC gold. To top things off in Curitiba, Brown was allegedly attacked at his hotel by Rodrigo Botti<\/a>, a former trainer of his.<\/p>\n Brown was able to make a humorous statement following the rough time in Brazil with a post on Instagram with he and Maia posed for a photo after their fight. Brown said in his caption, “I’ve finally made it back to the US alive and well! Wasn’t sure if that was going to happen but here I am! 😂😂 Once more thanks to @demian_maia for the lesson in BJJ and thanks to Brazil for making the weekend exciting! Even though I lost I feel one step closer to being the best fighter I can be. I am not going to stop grinding for that gold and I will not let this slow me down even a little bit. I’m just getting started my friends.”<\/p>\n\n
