UFC welterweight Randy Brown wants the big names next and Michael Chiesa is one name that interests him.

Brown made it two wins in a row when he submitted Warlley Alves with a triangle choke at UFC Sao Paulo this past weekend. It was an impressive feat considering the Brazilian’s jiujitsu skills along with the fact that he was never previously submitted.

The submission also made it four finishes in his last five wins as “Rude Boy” always strives to end his fights early:

“I plan to get the finish every time I get out there and fight – that is my goal,” he said afterwards (via MMA Junkie). “It wasn’t exactly how I wanted to be, but we are still working. I am getting better.”

With three wins in his last four outings, Brown now wants to move up the ranks. He already has a name in mind as he proceeded to call out Chiesa.

“I would like to fight Michael Chiesa next,” he added. “He moved up to the welterweight division, and I would like to be his next opponent.”

Chiesa notably made the move to 170 last year and is 2-0 following wins over Carlos Condit and Diego Sanchez.

Michael Chiesa is now 2-0 at welterweight since making the move. There, at UFC 232 he beat Carlos Condit by submission. Then, at UFC 239 he dominated Diego Sanchez en route to a decision victory.

With the two wins, Chiesa now eyes a spot in the UFC rankings or a ranked opponent. He knows he deserves it, given he was ranked at lightweight, and having these dominant performances.

But, first, he wants to re-negotiate a new deal.

“I won’t accept anything less than a ranked opponent. I left the lightweight rankings I think I was ranked like 10 or 11 when I left. So, I won’t accept anything less,” Chiesa sad to ESPN. “I have proven I am a legit welterweight. So, I’m looking to re-negotiate a new contract, hopefully, get a fight by December, so that is the timeline we are shooting for, and maybe get that Neil Magny fight.”

When he goes into try and sign a new deal, he values how much he is worth on his performances. As of late, he has done exactly that looking incredible at welterweight and showing he is a legit threat there.

“Just by my performances, I always show up and I always fight. I’ve always been a company man and I’m not going anywhere. I’m UFC until the end. At this stage of my career being 31, even if I lost every fight from here on out going forward, when my time ends here, my time ends in the sport.”

For now, Michael Chiesa is back in the gym training and awaiting for another fight, where he hopes it will be a ranked opponent. And, hopefully, Neil Magny if he had his way.

Do you think Michael Chiesa should fight a ranked opponent next?
