Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barao named UFC 138 “Fight of the Night”

Bantamweights Brad Pickett and Renan Barao did more to entertain in approximately four minutes than any other pair of pugilists on the UFC 138 card, wowing fans from start to finish with a series of stiff strikes and general fearlessness on their feet.

Though Pickett eventually fell, then found himself locked up in a Rear-Naked Choke, the Brit still took home $70,000 along with a role in the evening’s “Fight of the Night”. The win improved Barao’s record to 27-1 with his only defeat coming via Split Decision in his professional debut.
