“The Immortal” hadn’t fought since May 2023, when he knocked out Court McGree in the first round. Brown’s 13 knockouts in the UFC are second all-time in the promotion’s history, one behind heavyweight Derrick Lewis’ 14 for the UFC’s record. He never won a world title but he’s known as one of the best action fighters in the sport. Brown was definitely a fan favorite, he finishes his MMA career 26-19.
