One thing that has been true throughout Matt Brown’s lengthy UFC career is that he is a fighter with one goal in mind when he steps into the octagon. If you need to ask, that goal is to finish his fights with a knockout. On Saturday, the 42-year-old Brown picked up his UFC record-tying 13th career knockout, stopping Court McGee in the fourth round of their welterweight fight at UFC on ABC 4.
Brown, who has been with the UFC since June 2008, picked up his first knockout with the promotion in his debut fight when he stopped Matt Arroyo on the prelims of The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale card. Brown’s KO of McGee gave him his third consecutive UFC Fight Night bonus award.
Brown wasn’t the only fighter who made a statement on Saturday. In the card’s main event, rising heavyweight Jailton Almeida pitched his third shutout in five UFC outings. Almeida submitted Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the first round of their matchup. Rozenstruik, like Parker Porter and Danilo Marques before him, left his bout against Almeida without landing a significant strike, takedown, or submission attempt. All told, Almeida has absorbed two significant strikes as a UFC fighter.
Ian Garry also deserves mention. The young Irish fighter passed the biggest test of his career on Saturday, scoring the first Fight Night bonus of his UFC career with a head kick knockout win over Daniel Rodriguez.
Below, we take a deep dive into the stats from Saturday’s UFC on ABC event. The evening’s main card, which took place at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, was broadcast on ABC following prelims on ESPN+.
