Matt Brown had a rough weekend in Brazil. He was boo'd and heckled by fans chanting that he was going to die at the UFC 198 weigh-ins, and Brown flipped off the crowd in response. Then on the walk to the cage for the fight on the next day, he was struck 3 times by fans, and after the third one Brown pushed back in retaliation. During the fight against Demian Maia, Brown spent most of the bout having his back taken and fighting off the rear-naked choke, before it was cinched in and Brown tapped in the third round with 29 seconds left in the fight.
Then on Sunday, Brown's ex jiu jitsu coach, Rodrigo Botti, allegedly attacked Brown from behind, and then ran away. Brown's friend Vinicius went chasing after him and retaliated by punching Botti, revenge for the sucker punch shot. MMA Fighting reports Botti is pressing charges against Vinicius. Afterwards, Botti posted this picture with the caption: scratches on the forehead for the asphalt only. Wtf, Does he has hands of pillow??
