Summary

On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, UFC welterweight legend Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin discuss and debate the biggest topics in combat sports including Jake Paul’s upcoming fight with Tommy Fury. As Paul prepares for his first fight against an opponent with a boxing resume, we'll debate if Tommy Fury is actually the toughest test "The Problem Child" has faced or has he already taken on tougher competition in past fights against Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva? We’ll also discuss the broadcast teams working in the UFC and if Brown has ever taken issue with anybody calling his fights in the past. Brown will also reveal his top UFC commentator of all time and who he believes might soon be fighting for the top spot. To kick things off this week, we’ll discuss Erin Blanchfield’s huge win over Jessica Andrade and if she’s now the biggest threat that Valentina Shevchenko has potentially faced since winning the title and becoming UFC flyweight champion? Plus for the first time, we feature our new Ask Matt Brown segment where the veteran UFC welterweight answers questions from the fans — this week including his opinion on fixing judging in the sport, fighting at the UFC APEX and even offering some dating advice.
