UFC 284 adds Randy Brown vs. Jack Della Maddalena

A welterweight bout is the newest addition to UFC 284 – and it has some home country flavor to it.

American Randy Brown and Australian Jack Della Maddalena will collide at the Feb. 13 pay-per-view event at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

A person with knowledge of the booking confirmed the matchup Monday to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Brown first announced the bout on Twitch.

Brown (16-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) rides a four-fight winning streak into the matchup including victories over Alex Oliveira, Jared Gooden, Khaos Williams, and most recently Francisco Trinaldo. Since the start of 2019, Brown is 6-1 with his only loss against Vicente Luque.

Della Maddalena (13-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) broke through big in his inaugural UFC calendar year. In 2022, Della Maddalena went 3-0 with three first-round finishes over Pete Rodriguez, Ramazan Emeev, and Danny Roberts.

With the addition, the UFC 284 lineup includes:

  • Champion Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski – for featherweight title
  • Yair Rodriguez vs. Josh Emmett – for interim featherweight title
  • Tyson Pedro vs. Mingyang Zhang
  • Kai Kara-France vs. Alex Perez
  • Jack Jenkins vs. Don Shainis
  • Parker Porter vs. Justin Tafa
  • Melsik Baghdasaryan vs. Joshua Culibao
  • Jimmy Crute vs. Alonzo Menifield
  • Kleydson Rodrigues vs. Shannon Ross
  • Jamie Mullarkey vs. TBA
  • Joel Alvarez vs. Zubaira Tukhugov
