Matt Brown revealed he battled sickness before the plug was pulled on UFC on ESPN 8 in Columbus, OH. – and said he may even have had coronavirus. Brown (22-16 MMA, 15-10 UFC) was scheduled to face Miguel Baeza on March 28 but, due to the growing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, the UFC canceled the event. Prior to that cancellation, Brown found himself fighting his own battle to make it to the octagon after contracting a major illness that he says may actually have been coronavirus. “Yeah it was crazy, because I think I might have had coronavirus,” Brown told MMA Junkie. “I was definitely ultra sick, like the sickest I’d ever been in my life.
