UFC Fight Night: Bonfim vs. Brown—also referred to as UFC Fight Night 264, UFC Vegas 111, and UFC on ESPN+ 122—was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It took place on November 8, 2025, at the UFC Apex facility located in Enterprise, Nevada, within the Las Vegas Valley, United States.
Background
The main attraction of the event was a welterweight clash featuring former LFA Welterweight Champion Gabriel Bonfim facing off against Randy Brown. This matchup had initially been planned for UFC Fight Night: Oliveira vs. Gamrot the previous month but was postponed to headline this card.
Austin Bashi was originally booked to compete against Jamall Emmers in a featherweight contest; however, due to injury, Bashi withdrew and was substituted by Hyder Amil. A women's bantamweight fight between Luana Santos and Dariya Zheleznyakova was also scheduled, but following Zheleznyakova’s withdrawal, Melissa Croden took her place. This bout was later rescheduled to occur at UFC on ESPN: Royval vs. Kape in December.
In the bantamweight division, a matchup featured former LFA Bantamweight Champion Miles Johns versus Daniel Marcos. Johns had been set to fight Muin Gafurov before Gafurov’s withdrawal; meanwhile, Marcos was previously matched with Felipe Lima until Lima pulled out. Consequently, Johns and Marcos were paired together for this event.
A bantamweight contest between Adrian Yañez and Cristian Quiñónez was canceled during the week of the event after Quiñónez withdrew for undisclosed reasons.
Within the middleweight category, Robert Valentin pulled out from his scheduled bout with Jackson McVey citing a back injury. Although undefeated prospect Donte Johnson was considered as a replacement, he was denied clearance by the Nevada State Athletic Commission due to an existing medical suspension. Ultimately, Zachary Reese accepted the fight against McVey at a catchweight of 195 pounds.
At the official weigh-ins, Ismael Bonfim failed to make the lightweight limit by five pounds. The fight proceeded at catchweight with Bonfim penalized 25% of his fight purse, which was awarded to his opponent Chris Padilla.
