Extending his winning-spree to an impressive three straight fights tonight on the main card of UFC Atlanta, turning in his most high-profile win in a unanimous decision win over former undisputed bantamweight champion, Cody Garbrandt.
Barcelos, who entered tonight’s pivotal pairing with former gold holder, Garbrandt off the back of a submission over Christian Quionenez, and a decision success over the highly-touted, Payton Talbott — continued his run tonight.
As for Garbrandt, it’s now two consecutive defeats to Brazilian opposition — having suffered a third round rear-naked choke loss to Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 300 at the beginning of last year.
