Randy Brown became the first man to finish his opponent Nicolas Dalby.
On the main card of UFC on ESPN 66 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo., Brown (20-6 MMA, 14-6 UFC) turned in an impressive performance against Dalby (23-6-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC), causing all sorts of damage in the process. At 1:39 of Round 2, Dalby was lying motionless on the canvas after Brown connected with a right hand.
It was a mostly brilliant performance from Brown, but there were a few moments in the opening round that proved contentious. Dalby had a moment or two in the opening frame, rocking Brown with a punch, but it would not be nearly enough to stop what was coming a few moments later. In fact, Brown rearranged Dalby's face with a sweeping right hand, sending Dalby's nose completely off track.
In the second round, Brown continued to utilize his range advantage, picking Dalby apart with sharp punches. Dalby was game to make it a heated exchange and paid the price. Brown sat on a powerful right hand, violently sending Dalby crashing to the canvas for a walk-off knockout.

With the finish, Brown became the first to finish Dalby in 30 fights, and marked a return to the win column following a split decision loss to Bryan Battle in December. During his post-fight interview, Brown said he wants an opponent with a number next to their name, and specifically mentioned either main event competitor, Ian Machado Garry or Carlos Prates, no matter the result, as a potential next dance partner.
