Summary

With UFC 283 in the books, The Fighter vs. The Writer reacts to the biggest moments on the first pay-per-view card for 2023, which included Jamahal Hill becoming light heavyweight champion with a dominant showcase against Glover Teixeira. UFC welterweight Matt Brown will give his thoughts on the fight as well as Teixeira’s announcement that he’ll be retiring from the sport. Brown also reacts to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua’s final fight and he offers his argument about why more coaches need to be willing to throw in the towel to save a fighter. In fact, Brown says if he was in the same situation, he would have stopped the fight between Lauren Murphy and Jessica Andrade after Murphy absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment over three rounds. Finally, Brown reveals that he’s about to start his own training camp with a fight expected to be booked in the near future and he details why he’s coming back to compete again.
