Matt Brown defeats Jordan Mein by TKO Round 2, 1:00
by John Haigh @JohnBjayHaigh
The first fight on the main card justified why for the second time in three fox events Matt Brown has opened up the show. Jordan Mein stepped in on a months notice for an injured Dan Hardy to take this fight with Matt Brown. Both fighters came in to this fight on a hot streak and a win in this fight would put there names into the already stacked welterweight title picture.
Round one took no time at all to get going there wasn't the usual feeling out period in this one. Mein stepped straight in with an elbow and Brown fired back with shots of his own. Both fighter landed huge shots in round one causing serious damage to each other.
Mid way through the first Brown landed some big knees in the clinch hurting Mein. Mein has moments of his own in round one landing a big body shot sending brown straight to the mat, he also has a guillotine choke but couldn't quite lock it in. Brown was visibly hurt and could be seen wincing from Mein's continued attacks to the body. Brown managed to hold on and managed to answer with a triangle choke attempt which Mein only just managed to escape from late in the first round.
Round two started off much the same way as the first but it was Brown who started to edge the contest. Brown got his hand speed going landing combinations backing Mein up, then Brown landed a knee to the face dropping Mein to the mat. Brown swarmed trying to finish the fight landing vicious elbows to the head and body until the referee had seen enough and stopped the fight.
The win puts Brown on a five fight win streak and surely he can't be far from a number one contender fight.
The fight was also awarded fight of the night with both fighters pocketing a $50,000 bonus cheque.
