UFC: Renan Barao has been released by UFC

UFC President Dana White has recently released two eminent veterans - Liz Carmouche and Renan Barao from the UFC roster. Once referred to as the best pound for pound fighter in the world, Renan Barao lost his impact since his title loss against TJ Dillashaw. The 32-year old Brazilian took another shot at TJ Dillashaw in order to reclaim his title but came up short in the fight. Well, ever since his loss against TJ Dillashaw, Renan Barao has won only two fights against Mitch Gagnon and Phillipe Nover.

Renan Barao lost all of his last five fights and no wonder, UFC is done with him. The 32-year-old has had some notable moments in his MMA career. He had a 33-fight unbeaten streak and a victory against Urijah Faber. However, nothing can compensate for his poor performance in recent times. Well, Renan Barao is a free agent at this moment and he can opt for emerging MMA promotions in the world like Bellator MMA, One Championship, Cage Warriors or even Bare Knuckle Fighting. The former bantamweight champion is yet to announce anything from his side and MMA fans expect him to try out something new under a new promotion.
