Randy Brown and Jacobe Smith both weighed 170.5lb at the official UFC Vegas 123 weigh-in in Las Vegas on Friday, so both are on weight for their welterweight co-main event. Non-title welterweight bouts allow one pound over the 170lb limit.

The headliners made weight too. Renato Moicano came in at 156lb and Tom Nolan at 155.5lb for their five-round lightweight main event.

Smith, 13-0, replaced Carlos Leal as Brown's opponent. He stopped Bruce Whitehead in the first round at UFC 332 on 3 October, so Saturday's fight comes about four weeks after that win. Brown, 20-8, has lost his last two fights, to Gabriel Bonfim and Kevin Holland.

Brown has said Islam Makhachev "doesn't fight a lot" and should fight more often.

The card opens at 21:00 UK and Irish time on Saturday 31 October, and the main event is expected at 02:00 early on Sunday. Brown v Smith is listed in the 00:00 slot on our UK start time page, which has the full running order.
