Randy Brown, known to UFC fans as Rudeboy, has a heavily tattooed left arm and a chest design that grew more extensive between 2024 and 2025. Older photos show two small marks on his left pectoral; later ones show broad black-and-gray work across the upper chest.
The fuller chest tattoo in 2025
Against Nicolas Dalby in April 2025, Brown’s chest faces the camera enough to show the larger composition. Tattoo coverage has described it as a split mask with a Buddha-like figure, but Brown hasn’t confirmed that identification. The image shows layered shading across the upper torso, with the left shoulder work joining the wider area.
Dalby’s tattooed back fills the foreground on the left; those designs belong to him. Brown’s reason for choosing the chest piece isn’t established in the available accounts.
The earlier paired chest marks
A February 2024 celebration photo shows two small, angular marks on Brown’s left pectoral, surrounded by open skin. The lettering is too unclear to translate. The photo also shows separate shaded work on his left shoulder.
Compared with the April 2025 view, the chest coverage is much sparser. The dated pictures show a change in appearance, but don’t establish the date, artist or process behind the later work. It’s also unclear whether the smaller marks were covered or incorporated.
How the chest and shoulder sit together
In an October 2022 photo against Francisco Trinaldo, Brown’s torso is tilted as he throws a high kick. The paired chest marks and darker left-shoulder work are visible, while the arm’s angle shows how the shoulder piece continues around the upper arm.
For another fighter’s large-scale coverage, see Alessio Sakara’s tattoos. The useful comparison is where the designs sit on the body, not an assumption that the fighters chose them for the same reason.
A moving view of the left-arm tattoo
A June 2023 photo with Wellington Turman shows more of the left-arm work as Brown extends a kick. The dark sleeve is more visible than the tattooing on his right side. The image is too small and angled to identify each figure with confidence.
The 2025 photo shows more of the left arm alongside the fuller chest. Lettering also appears on Brown’s right leg there, but it isn’t clear enough to quote.
Life in the Octagon
This June 2024 victory photo shows Brown after his win over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos. His black UFC shirt covers the tattoos, so the image provides fight-night context rather than a close view of the ink.
Brown’s route to the UFC included a November 2015 win watched by Dana White and the Lookin’ for a Fight crew. UFC coverage describes him as Queens-based. The interview below is from UFC 261; it adds Brown’s own voice, though it isn’t a tattoo breakdown.
