While there’s not a fighter in the world that ever dreams of becoming an
interim champion, Renan Barao has no problem with
wearing that exact title.
After defeating Urijah Faber at this past weekend’s UFC 149 event in
Calgary, Barao said the opportunity to wear a UFC belt is a symbol of
the hard work he’s put in during seven years as a professional fighter.
“My life changed a lot, thanks to God,” Barao told MMAjunkie.com. “My hard work is being
acknowledged. I worked very hard to get to this point, and thanks to God
we’re here.”
