Matt Brown gives PFL-MVP credit, but says UFC gap remains massive
MattBrown believes the newly announced merger between the Professional Fighters League and Most Valuable Promotions is a sensible business move, but stillno match for the industry leader.Browns comments echo Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO DanaWhites remarks about the merger.PFL, Most Valuable Promotions and UFC compete for MMAs biggeststageBrown suggested that the new company could find more success byavoiding making the UFC their primary competition. In a recentinterview, the retired fighter discussed where the PFL-MVP unionstands in comparison to the UFC.I certainly think its a smart thing for both of those companiesto do, Brown said on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer.Come together, join forces, try to build something big.Unfortunately, theyre in a space where theyre still just going tobe No. 2.Brown largely agreed with Whites comments days earlier, where theUFC CEO dismissed the new merger as a real threat to the UFC.I agree with what [Dana White] said -- Were competing with majorleagues and sh*t, were not worried about what these peasants aredoing, so to speak, Brown added. He didnt say it like that, butI think hes totally right in saying that.While Brown believes that the merger brings a lot of good,including the prospect of more money and raising the standards foroverall pay in the industry, he says competing with the UFC isfutile. The Immortal suggested the merged promotion would bebetter served by establishing its own identity.When youre trying to outspend or try to get better fighters,Brown said. You dont have a chance. What I see MVP and PFL tryingto do is a d*ck-swinging contest, and its like youve got af*cking limp d*ck over here.Brown further emphasized that most fighters want to fight on thebiggest stage irrespective of the money theyre earning.I guarantee 99.9% of fighters would go fight f*cking Jon Jones for$1,000 rather than f*cking some PFL guy for $50,000.
