Alex Oliveira vs. Randy Brown rescheduled, several bouts official for UFC 261

Alex Oliveira and Randy Brown have a new date for their welterweight clash.

Originally scheduled to compete on Feb. 27, Oliveira (22-9-1, 2 NC) and Brown (12-4) will now face off at UFC 261 on April 24 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., the UFC announced Wednesday.

Oliveira and Brown are both coming off of losses, with Oliveira suffering a first-round submission defeat to Shavkat Rakhmonov in October, and Brown losing by second-round KO to Vicente Luque in August. Their Feb. 27 meeting was postponed when Brown withdrew for undisclosed reasons.
