Matt Brown is a superstar. He showed everything people love to support in a person. He showed fortitude, he showed determination, heart, will, courage, humility...
He's the true underdog story. Matt Brown isn't supposed to beat these elite fighters. He's not as athletic as them. He's not as naturally talented. He doesn't have the 'look' of a fighter. He doesn't have the college credentials.
They call him 'The Immortal' because he survived a heroin overdose. He turned to martial arts as a way to discipline his mind. Martial arts saved his life.
Today, he showed us no matter who you are or where you're from, what mistakes you've made or how many obstacles are in your way... he showed us that willpower and determination will take an honest hardworking man all the way to the top.
I was inspired by Matt Brown's performance. His warrior spirit illuminated the entire arena. Everyone who did not bet on Silva and isn't a pretend-mma fan "because it's cool", became a bigger fan of MMA after that fight.
'The Immortal' no longer attributes the OD survivor that is Matt Brown. Whatever happens henceforth, after that fight against Erick Silva- Matt Brown has truly immortalized his name in the books of history as an elite MMA fighter.
Matt Brown's dynasty has just begun. Whether you love him or you're busy criticizing him, notice that half the topics on sherdog today in the UFC sec is about Matt Brown. Every mma community is buzzing over this fight.
That fight had an impact on you whether you're too cool or too ignorant to admit it...
Matt Brown is The Immortal.
