UFC Recap: Matt Brown Defeats Erick Silva by TKO in Best Fight Ever

by Dr. Octagon, J.D.

Erick Silva crumpled Matt Brown in the first round with a vicious body kick just above the belt-line, then got his back and was threatening with a nasty neck crank.

Somehow, Matt Brown got up and proceeded to put the most savage beating on Erick that I’ve ever seen, to win the round on our card. The second round was all Brown, who looked like he was trying to set a record for most head strikes in a round. Can’t wait to see fightmetric.

The third round was more of the same. Give Silva some credit, the kid took a shitload of punishment, but Matt Brown showed an inhuman amount of toughness and cardio. Amazing fight. Matt Brown is so fucking hard.

Update: Silva was taken out on a stretcher. We hope he is alright.

In the co-main, Costa Philippou got back on track, starching Lorenz Larkin in the first round.

Detroit Superstar Daron Cruickshank made short work of Roufusport product Erik Koch with a left head-kick in the first round.

Neil Magny won a unanimous decision over Tim “Dirty Bird” Means.

Soa Palelei thankfully finished the fight early with some slick groundwork against South African judoka Ruan Potts, managing to avoid the submissions and get into full mount where he ended it with ground and pound.

Chris Cariaso defeated Louis Smolka with a unanimous decision.
