Randy Brown shattered his opponent’s nose before handing him his first KO loss at UFC Kansas City.
A 3-to-1 favorite, UFC Welterweight Randy Brown very much looked the part in his return against fellow veteran Nicolas Dalby.
The welterweights met on the main card of UFC Kansas City, a few fights before the highly-anticipated main event between Ian Machado Garry and Carlos Prates.
One of the toughest fighters in the division, Dalby fought his way back to the UFC after getting released in 2016, earning his contract in an all-time bloodbath he didn’t win. Dalby broke his opponent’s nose in said fight but on Saturday night, ‘Danish Dynamite’ would be on the receiving end of the horrific injury.
