UFC Fight Night 40 Main Event Announced: Brown vs. Silva

We have had knowledge of a UFC Fight Night Card being held in Cincinnati, Ohio, but it wasn't until now that a main event has been announced.  The Fox Sports 1 event will feature a fight in the UFC's Welterweight Division between top contenders Matt Brown and Erick Silva.  Both men are tremendous and diverse competitors who always put on exciting fights.  Both men have scored TKO victories in their last outings in the UFC.  Matt Brown is riding a six-fight win streak while Erick Silva has been juggling wins and losses since he debuted in the UFC in 2011.

This is likely going to be an entertaining fight and has the potential to gain Fight of the Night.  I would prefer to see Matt Brown against a higher ranked opponents seeing that he's ran through his last six opponents, but from an entertainment stand point I am more that willing to watch this fight.  Both men are explosive and entertaining and this fight has fireworks written all over it.  I see Matt Brown coming out as the victor, but Erick Silva could pull off the win and get himself in the mix with a few more wins.
