With UFC president Dana White recently revealing that interim bantamweight champ Renan Barao will likely have to defend his title while waiting for Dominick Cruz to return from a torn ACL, speculation has arisen over who may challenge the Brazillian powerhouse.
While no matchup has been announced yet, White all but confirmed that 21-year-old Michael McDonald will be the man for the job during the UFC’s trip to Montreal earlier this month.
Fans should be excited for this possible interim title bout because a battle between these two bantamweight contenders will definitely be an action-packed, firework-filled affair.
Here’s how I see Barao and McDonald matching up against each other in a head-to-toe breakdown.
