Brady and Bonfim to headline UFC Fight Night card on Nov. 7, 2026

Sean Brady and Gabriel Bonfim will headline the UFC’s November 7, 2026 Fight Night event at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The bout matches two ranked welterweights, with Brady holding a 19-2 record and Bonfim entering at 20-1.

The fight was confirmed during the main-card broadcast of UFC 330. Brady, a Philadelphia native, had been expected to feature on the promotion’s hometown card but did not compete there. He will instead return against a Brazilian opponent who has established himself among the division’s leading contenders.

The rankings place the matchup between the fifth- and sixth-ranked fighters in the weight class. Their order varies between the media rankings and Meta’s rankings: the media list has Bonfim higher, while Meta places Brady ahead of him. No other fights have been announced for the November 7 card.

Brady’s most recent appearance came in May, when he defeated Joaquin Buckley by unanimous decision. That victory followed a November defeat by Michael Morales and moved Brady back into contention after his first setback in the UFC run described in the supplied record.

Bonfim will arrive after beating former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad. His only UFC loss came against Nicolas Dalby, who stopped him by TKO in 2023. Bonfim has since won five consecutive fights and collected two Performance of the Night bonuses during that streak.

The main event therefore brings together Brady’s recent return to winning form and Bonfim’s longer unbeaten run since his UFC defeat. With both men occupying places inside the division’s top six, the November 7 booking is positioned as a significant welterweight ranking contest.
