UFC Fight Night Gabriel Bonfim vs Randy Brown: Main Event Preview and Prediction

The welterweight spotlight shines on two dynamic athletes this weekend as Brazil’s Gabriel Bonfim faces Jamaica’s Randy Brown in the main event of UFC on ESPN. Bonfim, just 26 years old, has quickly built a reputation as one of the most promising submission specialists in the division. His undefeated rise through regional promotions and aggressive grappling style have turned heads across the MMA world.

Randy Brown, however, is a proven UFC veteran — long, technical, and dangerous on the feet. With nearly a decade of experience under the promotion, Brown’s confidence and composure inside the Octagon make him a formidable challenge for any up-and-coming contender. He brings striking finesse, strong takedown defense, and a calm demeanor that allows him to weather storms and pick opponents apart from range.

Tale of the Tape

Fighter	Gabriel Bonfim	Randy Brown
Record	18-1-0	20-6-0
Nationality	Brazil	Jamaica
Height	6’1″ (185 cm)	6’3″ (191 cm)
Reach	72.5″ (184 cm)	78″ (198 cm)
Division	Welterweight	Welterweight

Bonfim’s biggest weapon is his relentless pressure. Once he closes distance, he hunts for submissions with precision — his guillotine and arm-triangle setups are especially dangerous. Brown will want to use his reach and movement, peppering the Brazilian with jabs and low kicks to stop takedown attempts before they develop.

If Bonfim can get this to the mat early, Brown’s long frame might work against him. But if Brown dictates the pace and controls range, he has the power and experience to make this a difficult night for the Brazilian.

Prediction

Expect Bonfim’s aggression to pay off. After a competitive first round, he likely drags Brown to the canvas and secures a slick finish. Pick: Gabriel Bonfim by second-round submission.
