Matt Brown is interested in squaring off with popular UFC welterweight Mike Perry this summer.
The veteran fighter responded to Perry’s call for the “best or most entertaining matchup” Monday on Twitter. “The Immortal” said he would be available to fight “Platinum” in his targeted months of either June or July.
“I’m down,” Brown said in response to Perry’s tweet, which read: “Who gotta be in the ring wit me to get y’all to buy #PayPerView lol or just who equals the best or most entertaining match up for what you think my skill set might do well against and or not well against.”
Perry has not yet responded to Brown’s message.
Brown hasn’t competed in the cage since a late 2017 knockout win over The Ultimate Fighter 1 winner Diego Sanchez; the victory was considered one of the year’s best knockouts. Brown was scheduled to meet former interim champ Carlos Condit in a long-awaited, highly-anticipated clash in April, but was forced out of the contest due to injury.
Brown was expected to retire after his win over Sanchez, but opted to put retirement on hold in favor of a matchup against Condit. It seems that Brown is back as an active MMA fighter — for now — even without the Condit fight immediately on the table.
Perry is coming off a submission loss to Donald Cerrone in November.
