Added to UFC Kansas City
Brown will take on Nicolas Dalby in a welterweight matchup at UFC Kansas City on April 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown last competed in December, dropping a decision against a heavy Bryan Battle to snap his three-fight winning streak. He now draws Dalby, who's been on the sidelines a bit due to an undisclosed injury. Brown has four-inch advantages in both height and reach, plus a slight statistical edge in both striking offense and defense. He also has a superior takedown defense in case Dalby looks to take this one to the mat, though that isn't necessarily his trademark skill.

Drops decision to heavy opponent
Brown lost to Bryan Battle via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC 310 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This one could have legitimately gone either way. It was a strong showing by Brown, one made all the more impressive by the fact Battle missed weight by four pounds Friday morning. Brown took a chunk of his purse and was more than willing to let the fight proceed. Randy was the more impactful striker and did fine when the two men were at distance, but he spent more and more time being controlled along the fence as the fight progressed. Ultimately, two of the three judges simply felt he didn't generate enough offense over the course of the final 10 minutes. "Rude Boy" entered having won three in a row and seven of eight, so his roster spot is plenty secure despite the setback.

Battling against Battle
Brown (toe) is scheduled to compete against fellow welterweight Bryan Battle at UFC 310 in Paradise on Dec. 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
It took Brown a little over four months for his toe to pass medical clearance and get a fight scheduled. He will look to finish his 2024 strong after already beginning this year with wins over Muslim Salikhov (TKO) and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (unanimous decision).

Needs toe X-rays
Brown has been given an indefinite medical suspension by the New Jersey State Athletic Board pending X-rays on his right big toe, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown put himself in a good position to face a ranked opponent with his seventh victory in eight trips to the Octagon on Saturday, but a slight medical hiccup could delay that announcement to late-2024. This doesn't look like an injury with much, if any, long-term risk, as he showed no signs of being affected by it in Saturday's 15-minute affair. He did, however, imply in a later interview that he broke his foot in the first minute of the fight, in which case an absence of at least a couple months would seem likely.

Survives tough second round in win
Brown defeated Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 302 on Saturday in Newark.
ANALYSIS
This fight was entirely predictable while at range, as Brown used his long jab to keep dos Santos at bay and intercepted him with devastating knees when he tried to close distance. Things got interesting in the second frame when the Brazilian took Brown's back and nearly finished a choke, but "Rude Boy" was able to end the round on top before getting back to business in the final frame. It seems strange to say that Brown has been coming into his own due to how long he has been with the company. It must be acknowledged, however, that more consequential fights are on the horizon, as the 33-year-old has won seven of his last eight contests.
