↵“I actually called Joe Silva today … I called and I asked him for Renzo (Gracie) because he’s coming and he needs a warm-up fight, so I was like I feel like I’d be a good warm-up fight. I’ve met Renzo a few times and I think he’s one of the greatest guys in the world. I’ve trained at his gym a bunch of times. I’ve got absolutely nothing but respect for the guy. I think he’s one of the greatest ever, but that’s why I want to fight him. He’s a legend and he needs a warm-up fight. I’d love to fight Matt Hughes (too), but he’s not going to fight someone like me right now.”
Matt Brown Wants Renzo Gracie

↵While I am a big fan of Matt Brown and enjoy the improvements he has made in his overall game I don’t really see the point in anyone calling for a fight with Renzo right now. It seems like he is just looking for a big “name” to put on his resume regardless of how unimpressive the win would ultimately be.
↵Update: I mistakenly said “Royce” in the initial post, apologies for any confusion.
