The fight that made Wonderboy learn some TDD.

I told EVERYONE about Wonderboy. GSP was talking about him being the next superstar, I watched all his Karate stuff I was so ready to watch this fight. Then he got smothered by Brown and I remember getting a call from my brother after the fight and him saying, "I'm not so sure about ur boy being as good as you think he is." I was pretty let down to say the least. Then he went on a seven fight win streak then fought for the title.

I was 18 and going through a breakup with my first love

Fucking hell, it'd be cool if time moved sideways or backwards once in a while. It's hard to keep up with, this life thing.

Talk about a sassy sandwich!

Two words that were used to describe matt brown in the 1st were "elder" and "veteran"
Definitely contradicting the TS title

This fight was a wake up call for Wonderboy that he wouldn’t just be steamrolling elite MMA fighters with his striking.

That guy for me was Pat Barry lol. The first event I showed to my friends live was Barry vs Congo - one of the most insane fights of all time

Man, Matt Brown was mad man and a very fun guy to watch when he is on

Went on a hellacious win streak too iirc

Clinch game on point

 

[gosuasus]

Immortal's 7-fight winning streak was one of the best in the UFC at the time. Proper dog.

Another example of why MMA records mean shit.

I like how "young" Matt Brown is still 32 lol

Brown beat the tar outta Wonder Boy that night and made Wonder Boy a much better fighter by doing so. I was surprised Wonder Boy didn't get finished that night.

These karate guys just can’t hang

It's relative youngness ... Tail end of twenties vs early thirties fighters there ...

 

[AngryWeasel]

That being said, that fight wasn't exactly propaganda for MT.

Brown was wreastling heavy.

Matt Brown was nearly finished himself in the 2nd and 3rd. He was punch drunk and it seemed like Wonderboy couldn't miss. It's impressive how he was able to still ground Wonderboy after being hurt the way he was, but also if Wonderboy had slightly better TDD at this time he probably would have won the fight.
