Fresh off win, Brown back to fight in NY

(Long Island, NY., December 15, 2016) – UFC 208 in Brooklyn is starting to add some local flavor to its already impressive card as Randy Brown has been scheduled to fight George Sullivan in a welterweight battle on February 11, 2017 at the Barclays Center.

Brown, who trains out of Bellmore Kickboxing Academy, currently moved his MMA record to 9-1 as he defeated Brian Camozzi at the 1:25 mark of round two just last Friday at UFC Fight Night 102 in Albany, New York. He has now won two consecutive fights in the UFC, both via finishes. On UFC Fight Night 94, he submitted Erick Montano in the third round via guillotine choke.

A former Ring of Combat champion, Brown started his MMA career with seven consecutive wins.

This will be Brown’s fifth fight in the last 13 months after catching his big break on the ROC 53 card, when President of the UFC, Dana White, signed him to a UFC contract after watching him in person on his hit YouTube show, “Looking For A Fight”.  Brown had already captured the ROC (Ring of Combat) welterweight title with a win over Mike Winters at ROC 50 with a victory via TKO in round two in January, 2015.

After being signed by the UFC, Brown found success winning his first fight over Matt Dwyer via unanimous decision in January of 2016. He is currently 3-1 in the UFC organization.

His opponent, Sullivan, (17-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is coming off a loss in his last fight when he lost to Alexander Yakolev via knockout in round one on UFC on Fox 18 back in January, 2016.

Brown joins Long Island’s Ryan LaFlare on the card. LaFlare will be facing Roan Carneiro in a welterweight bout. To read about his upcoming fight, please click here.
