Matt Brown Gets Hit And Grabbed By Frenzied Brazilian Fans During His Walkout

Matt Brown spent all week in Curitaba, Brazil antagonizing the Brazilian fans and in general acting like how Matt Brown acts. The boos rained down upon him, and after a feud with the Brazilians that’s gone back multiple fights, it seems like the fans have finally lost it.

During the walkout for his bout against Demian Maia at UFC 198, the fans lined up in the path from backstage to the Octagon had hands like zombies grasping at Brown as if he was fresh meat. It started to get sketchy immediately when Brown was smacked upside the head a few times, which got him visibly pissed. Then, a fan reached out and grabbed Brown’s hoodie and possibly hair, which led to Brown fighting back.

Take a look at the moment he lost his cool.

From this fight on the way to the Octagon, to then his battle inside the Octagon, Brown had a rough night. Maia worked him over for nearly 15 minutes before easily sinking in the rear naked choke.

Not cool, Brazil. You may not like Brown, but chanting for him to die and beating him up before his battle with Maia is over the line.
