UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs. Brown (also known as UFC on ESPN 73 and UFC Vegas 111) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on November 8, 2025, at the UFC Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.[1]

Background

[edit]

A welterweight bout between former LFA Welterweight Champion Gabriel Bonfim and Randy Brown is scheduled to headline the event.[2] They were originally scheduled to compete at UFC Fight Night: Oliveira vs. Gamrot one month before, but the bout was moved to this event in order to serve as the main event.[3]

Austin Bashi was expected to face Jamall Emmers in a featherweight bout at the event.[4] However, Bashi pulled out due to an injury and was replaced by Hyder Amil.[5]

A women's bantamweight bout between Luana Santos and Dariya Zheleznyakova was scheduled for this event.[6] However, Zheleznyakova withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by Melissa Croden.[7] The rescheduled bout between Santos and Croden was later moved to UFC on ESPN: Royval vs. Kape in December.[8]

A bantamweight bout between former LFA Bantamweight Champion Miles Johns and Daniel Marcos is scheduled for this event.[9] Johns was initially booked to face fellow former LFA champion Muin Gafurov one week prior at UFC Fight Night: Garcia vs. Onama, but Gafurov withdrew for undisclosed reasons.[10] Meanwhile, Marcos was slated to fight Felipe Lima at UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker on November 22, until Lima also withdrew.[11] Following both cancellations, Johns and Marcos were rebooked to face each other at this event.[10]
