The downfall of former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight king Renan Barao is a tricky one.
At one point the 29-year-old had won 22-straight mixed martial arts (MMA) fights en route to claiming the 135-pound UFC throne, defending it three times, and then looking like one of the very best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Of course, that was until an unsuspected evolution by T.J. Dillashaw resulted in Barao tasting a TKO defeat at UFC 173.
After that loss to "The Viper," The Brazilian never truly returned to form.
