Barao: The title is coming back to Brazil
Renan Barao: “The title is coming back to Brazil. I’m hungry to get this title back. I will get what is mine…The UFC gave me this opportunity, so I’m happy.”
Back in May TJ Dillashaw snapped Renan Barao’s 31-fight win streak and took his UFC bantamweight title. The two will rematch August 30th and Barao is confident that lighting won’t strike twice for Dillashaw:
“The title is coming back to Brazil. I’m hungry to get this title back. I will get what is mine.”
Dillashaw snapped Barao’s 31-fight win streak in devastating fashion on May 24, and the Nova Uniao bantamweight admitted he doesn’t remember anything that happened in the fight after he was knocked down in the opening round.
“I remember everything that happened until that point,” he said. “After (that punch), I only woke up in the locker room. The fight was really close in the beginning, but everything changed after that punch.
“T.J. can say anything he wants, but he’s not the one who makes the decisions,” Barao replied. “UFC makes the calls. The UFC gave me this opportunity, so I’m happy. T.J. is completely wrong.”
