Summary

On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, Matt Brown returns from hiatus to join MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin to discuss the fallout from UFC 292 this past Saturday. In the main event, Sean O’Malley scored a dramatic second round knockout to beat Aljamain Sterling to become UFC bantamweight champion for the first time. Brown praises O’Malley’s performance while also taking one on the chin after he picked Sterling to win ahead of the fight. We’ll also discuss Ian Garry’s huge win over Neil Magny and if he deserves any criticism for not getting the finish with his opponent clearly compromised during the fight. We’ll also play matchmaker for Garry to see what should be next for him after the win at UFC 292. Brown will also react to Chris Weidman’s long awaited return to action following a devastating broken leg that could have easily ended his career. In the wake of Weidman’s loss, Brown credits Brad Tavares for getting the job done but he also disagrees with UFC president Dana White when it comes to Weidman’s future.
