To this day, people still refer to the double collar tie as the Muay Thai clinch. So, let’s talk about his clinch.įirst, we should explain what the clinch is. While I will concede, Matt Brown is not the best Muay Thai fighter in MMA, I have yet to see a fighter impose a traditional Muay Thai gameplan in the cage, as effectively as he does against top level opponents.
We have no reference point for whether they would be successful. While in a pure Muay Thai context, they are of course, superior to Prime Matt Brown, we have yet to see a Thai Boxer compete at the top levels of MMA, like Matt Brown did. While today some may scoff and point to the handful of fighters from Thailand who have transitioned from Muay Thai to Mixed Martial Arts, it’s not right to include them in this discussion. It’s this fact alone, that puts Matt Brown at the top of Nak Muay’s in MMA. Brown actually had a real Muay Thai clinch game. Something that noother fighter in MMA was showing.
Matt Brown started to show something very different in his style. His career really turned around however, in 2012. Brown would brawl and despite gritty, entertaining fights, he wasn’t showing anything spectacular. He was rarely in a dull fight, but his fights were ugly. The early career of Brown can best be described as, awkward.
