UFC Vegas 111: Preview And Full Fight Card

For a second consecutive week, top-level mixed martial arts makes its home at the Apex for UFC Vegas 111. In the main event, welterweight standouts Gabriel Bonfim and Randy Brown tango in a thrilling striking matchup. In the penultimate bout of the night, Ultimate Fighter alum Matt Schnell and Joseph Morales face off in what is shaping up to be an exciting flyweight clash.

Along with his older brother, Ismael, Bonfim has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the UFC since they both made their company debuts on the same card two years ago. In the time since then, “Marretinha” has developed into a surging force at 170-lb, racking up a 5-1 record in the organization with wins over Trevin Giles, Khaos Williams and Stephen Thompson ahead of UFC Vegas 111.     

Rebounding in a big way his last time out with a highlight-reel knockout over Nicolas Dalby, Brown is now back in the winner’s circle after a disappointing defeat to Bryan Battle last year. Eager to make his way back into the rankings, “Rude Boy” will look to halt the momentum of his streaking Brazilian opponent to prove that he is one of the best welterweights on the planet.

Fighting under the UFC banner since 2016, Schnell has traded blows with a handful of flyweight greats in his day, including Steve Erceg, Brandon Royval and Alexandre Pantoja. Ending a three-bout losing streak last April with a victory over Jimmy Flick, “Danger” enters the Octagon for the 14th time in his career in UFC Vegas 111. 

Making his way back to the promotion after seven years away, Morales announced himself as a 125-lb competitor to watch out for when he submitted heavy favorite Alibi Idiris to win The Ultimate Fighter 33 championship. Now with the UFC title as his next great goal, “Bopo” will look to kickstart a dominant warpath towards the top of the summit at flyweight with a win at UFC Vegas 111.
