Rumor: Matt Arroyo vs. Matt Brown, TUF 7 Finale
Quote:
Matt Arroyo and Matt Brown to meet at TUF7 Finale
by Dann Stupp on May 29, 2008 at 12:00 pm ET
Matt Brown (9-6 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who was recently eliminated from "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rampage vs. Team Forrest," will get a rematch with season-six cast member Matt Arroyo (3-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) next month at the show's live finale.
MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) confirmed the bout with sources close to both fighters.
Rumors of a potential Brown-Arroyo fight first began in late April when Arroyo confirmed his involvement with the event -- but he said couldn't yet reveal his opponent at the time.
The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale takes place June 21 in Las Vegas, and the main card airs live on Spike TV.
Arroyo will attempt the avenge the only loss of his career. He and Brown met in November 2006 at a Real Fighting Championships event, and Arroyo suffered a second-round TKO.
Arroyo has not fought since the season-six finale for "The Ultimate Fighter," where the Brazilian jiu-jitsu veteran stopped John Kolosci with a first-round arm-bar.
Brown, a veteran fighter based out of Cincinnati, defeated Jeremy May to advance to the quarterfinals of "TUF," but he dropped a second-round submission to Amir Sadollah during the show's latest episode.

Hmm. Interesting. Arroyo looked good in most of his fights and I think he could sub Brown in round two.

Nice fight. If it goes to the ground Arroyo will likely win,if it stays standing,it'll likely be a repeat of their first fight(Brown TKOing him)

I really like Matt Brown. I hope he gets some good training partners because he has some raw talent and power that could be turned into a legit star. He has the right heart for it. His 9-6 record isn't indicitive of his potential.

The site is called MMA news... You can spot the icon on the upper left, and there are various banners indicating the site name...
I'm not sure what region of the world you're from, but usually news refers to information that updates people on current events occurring on a given subject...
