Bryan Battle will look to keep the ball rolling when he returns to action at UFC 310 later this year.
Battle (11-2, 1NC), who won The Ultimate Fighter 29 at middleweight before dropping down to 170lbs, was in action just weeks ago at UFC Paris. Now, he’s set to take on Randy Brown (19-5) in Las Vegas as part of the UFC’s final Pay-Per-View event of 2024.
Iridium Sports Agency, who represent Battle, announced the news on social media on Monday.
Battle got the better of Kevin Jousset at the Accor Arena in Paris on September 28, then cut a solid promo on the mic, playing the heel role as French fans serenaded him with boos. The TUF champ has won three straight (with a No Contest against Ange Loosa, due to an accidental eye poke, mixed into that streak).
Randy Brown has also won three straight, rebounding nicely from a loss to hot Australian prospect Jack Della Maddalena last year. Brown was last seen fighting his way to a unanimous decision victory over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos.
