Was Randy Brown unbeaten before entering the UFC?
Yes, before signing with the UFC back in 2016, Brown was unbeaten in his professional MMA career. The American fought six times as a professional before facing Matt Dwyer on his UFC debut. 'Rudeboy' also managed to beat Dwyer in his debut, but lost in his second UFC bout against Mike Graves at UFC on FOX 19: Teixeira vs. Evans.
All of Brown's professional defeats have come while competing in the UFC, losing to Graves, Belal Muhammad, Niko Price and most recently Vicente Luque. However, 'Rudeboy' wasn't unbeaten as an amateur fighter, so the 32-year-old tasted defeat before turning professional.
Both Nicholas Willey and Stephfond Ewins managed to beat Randy Brown during the UFC fighter's amateur career. However, Brown won six of his other amateur bouts, including three wins in a row between 2012 and 2013.
