This news makes me very, very happy. Matt Brown is on a really good run, and is a suitable test for Mein. If he gets the win here, he's going to be getting a lot of attention.
****, three guys I like are/were involved in this fight. :-( I'm cheering for Brown. Mein looks like a great prospect, but I'm loving Brown's recent career upswing. I find him to be an easy guy to cheer for. He's not the most talented or athletic guy, but he's gutsy, no bull****, tough as hell and fights balls out every time. I'd like to see him pick up a pretty high-profile win over a young up-and-coming guy who clearly has a lot of talent. War the Immortal! (One of the coolest nicknames in the sport too ) And yeah, I think Brown would have been too tough for Hardy to spark out, and I reckon he would have disassembled the Brit round by round. Still, if he performs well, Mein could be a big fight in Brown's career. Five in a row including a win over Mein, that would put a crowd-friendly, humble guy like Brown in a big fight. :hat
Turns out Hardy has a heart condition called Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. After a little research, I've found a couple pro athletes that have this condition and were still able to compete, so hopefully we will see Hardy back in the cage eventually.
This could turn out to be a really good fight Brown never backs down from a fight and can really rest Mein
Hopefully Hardy will be okay, but this is great for Jordan Mein. I want to see him get some publicity and bigger fights, to see if he is the real deal or not.
