Matt Brown vs Court McGee. As two veterans in the sport, this is an appropriate matchup for them at this point in their careers. Matt Brown will see this fight as an opportunity to take advantage of Court McGee’s recent knockout loss. While Brown has had a more successful career overall, they both enter this fight with similar levels of skill and experience. Brown’s aggressive striking will test McGee’s chin, but McGee’s wrestling skills will provide a challenge to Brown’s takedown defense. Although Brown’s striking power has diminished, he still has the potential to land a clean elbow and end the fight. However, it would be surprising if he were to knock McGee out with just one strike. If McGee’s chin has not fully recovered from his last fight, Brown may be able to secure a late knockout victory. Nonetheless, we believe that McGee’s wrestling will be enough to secure a vintage decision win.
