Matt Brown has a real mauling style, a "technical brawler" so to speak but mostly a brawler. His last fight against Jordan Mein was a prime example, and in the past, we've seen Thiago really adjust well to that (the Josh Koscheck and John Howard fights are prime examples). The only people who have a real forward style so to speak that have given Thiago problems are Georges St-Pierre and Jon Fitch and unfortunately Matt Brown is not on that level. Experience really has nothing to do with this one seeing as they both have had just as many fights. But at the same time, Thiago doesn't really posses the style on paper to defeat Matt Brown so really it's a toss up.
On paper, I say Thiago takes home the unanimous decision. But of course, it's a fight... anything can happen and considering the roll Matt Brown's been on and the work that I've seen him off of his back; I'm definitely not counting him out of this one, and he may very well catch Thiago in a submission if he's not careful.
