Welterweights Gabriel Bonfim and Randy Brown are set to meet in the five-round main event at the upcoming UFC Fight Night card on Nov. 8 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
UFC officials announced the pairing on Sunday.<\/p>\n
With a 5-1 record overall in the UFC, Bonfim picked up his biggest win to date when he scored a split decision victory over multi-time title challenger Stephen \u201cWonderboy\u201d Thompson back in July. While many believe Thompson actually deserved the nod, Bonfim got the job done to notch his third win in a row overall and now he\u2019s been rewarded with a main event.<\/p>\n
As for Brown, he enters the fight off an impressive knockout win over Nicolas Dalby in his most recent outing, which earned him Fight of the Night honors. That win put Brown back on track following a razor-close split decision loss to Bryan Battle at UFC 310 in 2024.<\/p>\n
Overall, Brown sports a 4-2 record in his past six fights with wins over the likes of Muslim Salikhov and Wellington Turman with his only other loss coming to future UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena.<\/p>\n
