After multiple reports and bookings that ended up falling through over the last few years, it seems that former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao has an actual date to return, again.
According to French promotion ARES Fighting Championship’s official Instagram page, the Brazilian has been picked up to take on William Gomis in a feathwerweight bout at AFC 7, on June 25, in Paris, France.
If the fight comes to fruition, it will mark the first time Barao steps into a cage since November 2019, when he dropped a unanimous decision to Douglas Andrade, back at UFC Fight Night 164.
