Fighter vs. Writer: Matt Brown Talks James Krause Betting Scandal, Kevin Holland’s Corner Stopping His Fight and Paddy Pimblett’s ‘Fat Camp’

MMA Fighting

On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, UFC welterweight Matt Brown and Damon Martin discuss the latest news from around the sport and preview the upcoming UFC 282 card.

At the top of the show, Brown will react to the news that the UFC has moved to prevent any fighters associated with James Krause from competing in the promotion due to an ongoing investigation surrounding betting irregularities.

Brown will offer his insight into what the UFC had previously told fighters about betting on contests and his own history seeing athletes and coaches wagering on the sport.

We’ll also break down everything that unfolded at UFC Orlando including Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson’s win over Kevin Holland in the main event. Brown praises Holland’s coaches for stopping the fight after the fourth round rather than sending him back out when he was clearly compromised.

Finally, we’ll look ahead at UFC 282 and the two biggest fights on the card as Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev battle for the light heavyweight title and Paddy Pimblett looks to continue his winning ways against Jared Gordon.

Brown will discuss Pimblett’s rapid rise and his feeling about the British fighter constantly ballooning up in weight between fights and what that says about his chances for long-term success in the sport.

All this and more on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer.
