LAS VEGAS – As mounting punches clearly took their toll, Matt Brown finally landed the fight-ending blow.

Facing fellow welterweight scrapper Chris Cope, Brown chipped away with dirty boxing before staggering his opponent with a right hook to the ear that set up a second-round knockout victory.

The preliminary-card bout was part of UFC 143 and aired on FX following additional prelims on Facebook. It preceded a pay-per-view main card at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center.

“The Ultimate Fighter 13″ alum Chris Cope, channeling his childhood love for professional wrestler Ric Flair, has popularized the term in the context of MMA ever since he stepped into frame for the first time on the reality show.

CHICAGO – A win is a win is a win.

For fast-rising – but still relatively unknown – Chris Weidman, you don’t pass up an opportunity to fight on a FOX main card against a top-10 middleweight.

Not even if you get just 11 days’ notice and still have 32 pounds to shed in order for it to be official.

While most everyone in the mixed-martial-arts industry believes the
UFC’s deal with FOX is a positive for the sport as a whole, there is at
least one segment of MMA sponsors unhappy with the new arrangement.

UFC officials recently made an internal announcement that “absolutely no firearms, ammo, hunting or
knife companies will be permitted as sponsors in any Zuffa-promoted
events.”

Chris Irwin, owner of Las Vegas’ “The Gun Store,” has long been one of
MMA’s most visible firearm-related sponsors, and while he has yet to
speak directly with any UFC officials, he admits he’s a little
frustrated at the decision.
