Matt “Immortal” Brown’s ticket to a high-profile matchup with Robbie Lawler was earned with a dominating victory over Brazilian dynamo Erick Silva. Things began quickly when both fighters’ finishing instincts set in after a few seconds. Silva was looking to blaze Brown with body kicks, and put him down early with one of those, but Brown persevered after a back take and pretty much took over from there.
Brown will meet Lawler at the SAP Center in San Jose, California for the main event on Fox, with the winner moving right into a No. 1 contender spot to face welterweight champion Johny Hendricks.
Also on the card is a light heavyweight matchup between Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.
