After his epic win over Erick Silva, Matt Brown had a lot of fighter’s asking for a fight with him. Brown himself said he would love a legendary fight with Nick Diaz, while Nate Diaz petitioned for a fight with Brown. UFC President Dana White told UFC Tonight that there’s no chance of that happening, but would welcome a fight between Brown and Nick Diaz:

“No, no way in the world. That fight has not been talked about, it’s not even close, we’ve never even considered that fight. Nate Diaz did say that he was interested in that fight, but that fight doesn’t make sense. He fights at 155 [pounds], has lost two of his last three fights and Brown’s on this unbelievable roll. Brown is a Welterweight and has been fighting there a long time. He deserves a top contender. Listen, if Nick Diaz wants to come out and fight Brown I’ll do that fight.”
