Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight standouts Renan Barao and Phillipe Nover will collide this Saturday (Sept. 24, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 95 inside Ginasio Nilson Nelson in Brasilia, Brazil.
Barao is in a seriously rough spot. After nearly a decade undefeated and being touted as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Barao has now lost three of his last four bouts, including his 145-pound debut. He’s obviously still a skilled fighter and hasn’t lost to scrubs, but the Brazilian desperately needs a win here. On the other hand, Nover has a split a pair of bouts since returning to the Octagon.
