Elite Prospects To Watch At UFC Fight Night Bonfim vs Brown
The UFC returns to the Apex for another fight night hoping it will be less of an eyesore compared to recent events.
Check out the odds for Bonfim vs Brown here at LowkickMMA.
In the main event welterweights collide on the fringes of the rankings hoping to climb ever closer to the 170lbs belt. Randy Brown is a 20 UFC fight veteran with two performance bonuses earning wins in his last four. His opponent Gabriel Bonfim has fought twice this year and aims for a hat trick of wins in 2025. At 18-1 he is a top prospect among many at 170lbs and his most recent win was his biggest against fan favourite Stephen Thompson.
Prospects on the undercard of Bonfim vs Brown
Opening the main card are a pair of promising middleweights. Marco Tulio is on a 10 fight win streak and his debut year in the UFC is going excellently. Two wins both coming via TKO after winning his UFC contract on Dana White Contenders Series in August last year. Fighting out of the infamous Chute Boxe in Brazil violence tends to follow Tulio inside the octagon.
Christian Leroy Duncan provides Tulio’s sternest UFC test to date and the Englishman himself can be considered one to watch at 185lbs. Now with 7 UFC bouts under his belt Leroy Duncan served up his best performance last time out. A first round TKO victory earned ‘CLD’ his first UFC performance bonus back in August. The victor from this contest will advance ever closer to the middleweight rankings.
Portuguese Bantamweight Jacqueline Cavalcanti is one of the best female UFC prospects particularly in a division that is quite weak. The 28 year old is on a 7 fight win streak with four UFC victories to her name. Currently sitting at number 11 in the rankings she faces former title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva. The Brazilian is the biggest name Cavalcanti has faced to date and beating her would be great for the resume.
The title picture is still unclear at women’s bantamweight with no set date for potential super fight involving champion Kayla Harrison and MMA GWOAT Amanda Nunes as the former double champ wants a UFC return. As the only current American UFC champion many believe Harrison is being saved for the UFC White House card in the summer of 2026.
Who do you think will be the breakout prospect at UFC Fight Night Bonfim vs Brown?
