Randy Brown is a Jamaican-American mixed martial artist currently competing as a Welterweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional competitor since 2014, he has formerly competed for Ring of Combat and became the Welterweight Ring of Combat Champion in 2015.

Background

Brown was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, but moved to Spanish Town, Jamaica with his mother while he was a toddler. He moved back to the United States at the age of 15. He started boxing in 2005 before transitioning to mixed martial arts at the age of 19 and had 6 amateur fights before turning pro in 2014.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Brown began his professional fighting career in 2014, making his debut as an amateur at Ring of Combat 48. Brown won the fight against Steve Tyrrell via submission in round one. He trains out of Budokan Martial Arts Academy, a Renzo Gracie BJJ affiliate.

Ring of Combat

Brown had 6 fights in the promotion winning all 6 by stoppage in the first or second round. He won the Ring of Combat welterweight belt by beating Mike Winters by second round TKO.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Brown was featured on Dana Whites Looking For A Fight where he knocked out Robert Plotkin at Ring of Combat 53. He was signed to the UFC soon after.[3]

Brown made his promotional debut against Matt Dwyer on January 30, 2016 at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Bader.[4] Brown won the fight via unanimous decision.[5]

Brown faced Michael Graves on April 16, 2016 at UFC on Fox 19.[6] He lost the fight via submission in the second round.[7]

Brown returned to face Erick Montaño on September 17, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 94.[8] He won the fight via submission in the third round.[9]

Brown was expected to face promotional newcomer Charlie Ward on December 9, 2016 at UFC Fight Night 102.[10] However, Ward was pulled from the event due in early November due to alleged visa issues which restricted his travel and was replaced by fellow newcomer Brian Camozzi.[11] Brown won the fight via TKO in the second round.[12]

Brown was expected to face George Sullivan on February 11, 2017 at UFC 208.[13] However on January 26, Sullivan was pulled from the card after being notified by USADA of a potential anti-doping violation stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected earlier this year.[14] Belal Muhammad was the eventual replacement.[15] Brown lost the fight via unanimous decision.[16]
