Ex-coach allegedly assaults Matt Brown at hotel, files charges against Brown’s friend after ensuing fight
- Updated: May 15, 2016
Matt Brown’s trip to Brazil didn’t end the way he was hoping.
The welterweight veteran, who suffered a third-round submission loss to Demian Maia at Saturday’s UFC 198 event in Curitiba, Brazil, was allegedly assaulted by his former jiu-jitsu coach Rodrigo Botti on Sunday morning in Brown’s hotel lobby, sources confirmed with MMA Fighting.
Botti allegedly attacked Brown from behind, and then ran away. Brown’s friend chased him down, and was able to catch him outside the hotel. The ensuing fight was caught on tape and posted on YouTube.
Brown’s wife and UFC analyst Brian Stann tweeted about the incident hours later.
Not a random fan who attacked Matt. It was Rodrigo Botti who is an absolute psycho.
