JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Just a few months ago, Randy Brown was campaigning to fight Michael Chiesa, but today, that’s a much different story.
Brown (18-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) has lost all interest in fighting Chiesa and is no longer in search of the matchup. Returning at Saturday’s UFC 302, Brown said his objective is to crack the top 15 of the UFC’s official rankings, and Chiesa won’t help his cause at this point in time.
“I don’t care about Chiesa, man,” Brown said at Wednesday’s UFC 302 media day. “That whole situation was just that I wanted to fight. I wanted to fight someone with a name, and he was in the rankings. I felt deserved to be fighting in the rankings.
