Renan Barao’s first post-UFC fight will be against fellow octagon veteran Bobby Moffett in the main event of Taura MMA 12, which takes place Nov. 21 in Atlantic City, N.J., sources told MMA Fighting following a report from Combate.
Barao (34-9, 1 no contest) aims to snap a five-fight losing skid when he enters the cage in November. The former UFC bantamweight champion, who once beat the likes of Urijah Faber (twice), Michael McDonald and Eddie Wineland to enter the debate for the pound-for-pound top spot, hasn’t had his hand raised after a MMA bout since a 2016 decision over Phillipe Nover.
