Carlos Leal faces Randy Brown in a welterweight bout on the UFC Fight Night main card on 31 October 2026, pairing a compact pressure grappler with one of the division's rangiest strikers.
Carlos Leal: pressure, clinch and grappling
Leal, a Brazilian welterweight listed at 23-7 in public records, came up through the regional circuit and the PFL before joining the UFC. He closes distance behind heavy hands, works the clinch and hunts takedowns and submissions rather than trading at range.
Randy Brown: length and volume striking
Brown (20-8), a Jamaican-born American, uses a tall, lean frame, a long jab and kick-heavy kickboxing. He is most effective in open space, so keeping the fight at distance is central to his plan.
Range control shapes the matchup
The bout tests whether Leal can absorb early shots to get inside, and whether Brown can defend takedowns and hold his pace across three rounds. Cage control and cardio look likely to decide it.
