The man with the Harambe tattoo is going to fight in the “Land of Harambe.”
Taunton, Mass., native Randy Costa, who sports a tattoo of the dead viral gorilla that was killed in an Ohio zoo in 2016, announced in an Instagram post he signed a new UFC fight contract. He will be going against up-and-comer Martin Day at UFC Fight Night Columbus in Ohio on March 28th.
After losing his UFC debut against Brandon Davis, Costa grilled Boston Salmon with a first-round knockout at UFC Fight Night Boston in October.
Randy. Costa.

Costa boasts an explosive striking style and is 5-1 in his professional career with five first-round knockouts.
His opponent, Day, hails from Hawaii and lost his UFC debut in 2018 via split decision against Pingyuan Liu. Day hasn’t fought since then, but he holds an 8-3 professional record with two knockouts and two submission victories.
