Veteran UFC welterweight Matt Brown has spent almost the entirety of his MMA career plying his trade with the UFC. Now closing in on his 30th fight with the promotion in May 2023, Brown, in a conversation on the latest episode of ‘The Fighter vs. The Writer’ revealed an interesting take on the commentary team involved with the UFC. Considering that he has been a mainstay with the company and has had multiple voices commentate his fights, Brown’s opinion on this subject will surely draw keen interest from fans.

During the podcast, the 42-year-old also talked about the difficulties involved in commentating the  fights. He then goes on to reveal his favorite commentators out of the current lot. Interestingly, Laura Sanko also joined the commentary team, very recently drawing multiple reactions from fans.

Matt Brown on others calling his fights and his personal experience working as a commentator

Brown gives a unique perspective to the topic as he talks about how watching back his fights has helped him, mainly owing to the commentary involved. He feels that when commentators point out mistakes; it helps him get more insight into his own game. Brown even uses Daniel Cormier as an example in this case.

“I absolutely do [watch the fights with commentary] and when I watch the fights a lot of the time, the commentators will give you a little bit of insight, maybe what you were doing wrong, things that you could have done, especially Cormier, in particular, is very critical,” stated Brown.

The veteran also points out that, unlike others, he takes it in a positive way. “Maybe some people would take that defensively. I take it as a positive. I can learn from it and grow from it and use it.”

Brown goes on to describe how complicated the job becomes by bringing up his personal experiences working as a commentator for regional promotions.

 “Like I’ve commentated before on smaller, regional shows. It’s f******* hard. You’re sitting there for three, four hours and talking about all these fights. Sometimes you’ve just got to say s***… I do have sympathy for them on that part.” explained the 42-year-old.

Brown discloses his views on Joe Rogan’s style of commentary

Unsurprisingly, Brown also talked highly about Joe Rogan‘s commentary. He pointed out the long-time commentator’s ability to word things without making them sound too critical as his favorite aspect.

“Joe Rogan is probably the best of all time and he’s good at saying what they’re doing without sounding critical,” stated Brown.

He then goes on to compare it to Michael Bisping‘s commentary, which, similar to Cormier, he felt sounded very critical. “He’s just very good at wording things without sounding critical. Other guys aren’t. Bisping is a critical guy, that’s just who he is. That’s his personality.”

Although it could be a matter of personal perspective, considering Matt Brown’s experience as a fighter, his views on the topic should carry weight amongst the fans and even professional commentators. And since Brown, a veteran himself, is closing in on the end of his career, he might just be the next big MMA voice that could grace the sport for a long period of time.
