Former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao finally has an opponent for his Taura MMA debut after being picked up by the rising promotion earlier this month. Per Combate’s report, the 33-year-old Brazilian will have the first fight of a three-bout contract be a main event against a fellow Octagon veteran in Bobby Moffett.
Barao (34-9-1 NC) left the UFC on a five-fight losing skid, dropping his last bout in a featherweight bout against Douglas Andrade, in December 2019. The Brazilian’s last win came in September 2016, when he bested Phillipe Nover via unanimous decision. For his match against Moffett, the former champ will remain at the 145-pound division.
