Matt Brown delivered a brilliant walk-off knockout earlier today (Sat., May 13, 2023) at UFC Charlotte live on ABC/ESPN/ESPN+ from inside Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C., when “The Immortal” ended fellow welterweight veteran Court McGee with a vicious first-round finish.

STRAWWEIGHT CONTENDERS COLLIDE! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns home to UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., May 20, 2023, with No. 7-ranked women’s Strawweight contender, Mackenzie Dern, testing her high-powered submission skills against No. 13-seeded Angela Hill. In UFC Vegas 73’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, Anthony Hernandez will lock horns with Edmen Shahbazyan in a showdown between talented Middleweight up-and-comers.
Brown hasn’t won a fight by decision since 2012 so fight fans were expecting fireworks from “The Immortal” to cap off the “Prelims” undercard. McGee did well early on to tie the action up and control the fight, but once Brown created space he leveled McGee with a massive right hand. McGee instantly fell to the canvas and Brown walked it off.

Brown, 42, is now tied with heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis for most knockouts in UFC history with 13. The veteran fighter has finished his last four wins by way of knockout and doesn’t seem to be slowly down. Brown physically looked great tonight and clearly has some gas left in the tank so we should see him return by year’s end.
