RFA welterweight champion Brian Camozzi is set for a UFC debut.

A few months after winning the vacant RFA title, Camozzi (7-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been tapped as a replacement for Irish fighter Charlie Ward (2-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who was ruled out of a UFC Fight Night 102 bout with Randy Brown (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) due to visa issues.

UFC officials announced the new Camozzi vs. Brown matchup via newsday.com.

UFC Fight Night 102 takes place Dec. 9 at Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. The entire card streams live on UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Brian Camozzi, the younger brother of UFC vet Chris Camozzi, scored a 100-second submission win over Nick Barnes in September to claim the RFA belt (watch the highlights above). It was the 25-year-old’s fifth straight win and seventh stoppage in seven career victories. His past three wins have all come with RFA, which has sent numerous champions and top fighters to the UFC in recent years.

Brown, meanwhile, is 2-1 under the UFC banner since joining the promotion after a featured slot on the “Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight” series. The 26-year-old former Ring of Combat champion scored a decision victory over Matt Dwyer in his January promotional debut before a submission loss to Michael Graves in April. After rebounding with a submission victory over Erick Montano in September, Brown now looks to make it a 3-1 calendar year in the UFC.
