Superman Five For Fighting

UFC on Versus 4 fight card: John Howard vs Matt Brown preview

This Sunday night (June 26, 2011), two very exciting welterweights will put it all on the line during the UFC on Versus 4 main card as John Howard and The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season seven veteran Matt Brown will battle for the right to keep their jobs.

Howard has been a notorious slow starter but that didn't stop him from opening his UFC career with four straight wins. "Doomsday's" rise to the top of the welterweight division was halted by Jake Ellenberger and then sent crashing back to Earth by Thiago Alves six months ago at UFC 124 . He needs to at least stop the bleeding now.

Matt Brown was a fighter to keep an eye on in early 2010 after scoring three straight stoppage victories before he met a similar fate. A trio of submission losses has "The Immortal's" back against the wall as well and there's no doubt he absolutely needs a win to keep his job on Sunday night.

Can Howard get back on track when he's not facing a top contender? Can Matt Brown find it within himself to dig deep and salvage his career? "Doomsday" was an unkillable Superman villain while obviously, "The Immortal" can't die. Who will meet their end on Sunday night?

Let's find out:

John Howard

Record : 14-6 overall, 4-2 in the UFC

Key Wins :  Daniel Roberts  (UFC on Versus),  Dennis Hallman  (TUF 10 Finale),  Charlie Brenneman  (Ring of Combat 21)

Key Losses : Thiago Alves (UFC 124), Jake Ellenberger (UFC on Versus 2)

How he got here : John Howard made his mark on the welterweight division with his heavy hands and exciting, brawling style. He stole the "Fight of the Night" bonus in his UFC debut against Chris Wilson at UFC 94: "GSP vs. Penn 2."

Howard turned middling success at the Ring of Combat promotion in Atlantic City into a huge seven fight win streak which included four in a row in the UFC. He capped off his UFC win streak with back-to-back knockouts against Dennis Hallman and Daniel Roberts, the Hallman KO being one of the craziest come-from-behind knockouts in UFC history after getting thoroughly outwrestled for nearly three full rounds, a controversial stand-up gave him a chance to knock "Superman" out of the sky with just five seconds left in the fight.

His domination of Daniel Roberts with ground and pound would put him in line for some big fights against some major players in the 170 pound division.
