Jacobe Smith will return before the end of October against Randy Brown in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 123 at the Meta Apex on 31 October, Heavy.com reported in the early hours of Tuesday. Brown, 20-8, had originally been scheduled to face Carlos Leal in that slot.

The booking comes only weeks after Smith's last fight. The welterweight prospect knocked out Bruce Whitehead at UFC 332 earlier this month to keep his record perfect at 13-0, and Brown now has the chance to become the first man to beat him in MMA.
Brown arrives on a two-fight losing streak. He was stopped by a knee from Gabriel Bonfim, then lost a decision to Kevin Holland at UFC 327 earlier this year. His last win in the Octagon came when he knocked out Nicolas Dalby in April 2025.
The card is headlined by a five-round bout between Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan, both top 15 lightweight contenders, with twelve fights scheduled before their main event.
