A trilogy bout between former undisputed UFC bantamweight champion, Renan Barao and ex-WEC kingpin, Urijah Faber is reportedly set to take place in their respective GFL (Global Fight League) debuts later this year — at an event yet to be determined at the time of publication.
Barao, who holds a pair of victories over Isla Vista favorite, Faber inside the Octagon, is set for his first mixed martial arts appearance since October 2023, where he suffered his sixth consecutive defeat in a split decision loss to Walter Zamora under the Fera Championship banner in Kuwait.
