A guaranteed action fight is headed to South Beach.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight fan favorite Kevin Holland will face heavy-hitting contender Randy Brown at UFC 327 on Sat., April 11, 2026, inside the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Social media user Kevin K was first to report the matchup.
The momentum didn’t last.
Holland dropped a fun unanimous decision to Daniel Rodriguez later in the year and then suffered a setback against Mike Mallott in his most recent outing. He’s now 5-6 across his last 11 fights — a stretch that perfectly sums up the chaos that follows him every time he steps into the Octagon.
Brown (20-7), meanwhile, is looking to rebound from a second-round stoppage loss to Gabriel Bonfim in his first UFC main event appearance (watch highlights). Before that, “Rude Boy” scored one of 2024’s nastiest knockouts, flattening Nicolas Dalby in highlight-reel fashion (watch highlights).
He also dropped a controversial split decision to Bryan Battle in late 2024, but overall Brown remains one of the most dangerous unranked welterweights on the roster, going 4-2 in his last six appearances.
With both men standing 6-foot-3 and known for striking flair, range weapons, and durability, Holland vs. Brown has “Fight of the Night” written all over it.
