If it depends on physical preparation, the American Urijah faber will find one Renan Barao very different from the one who has already won three fights in the UFC. This is because the Brazilian is doing special physical work to get stronger for the fight scheduled for UFC 147, on July 7th, which will decide who will own the interim belt in the bantamweight category.

“I'm doing special physical preparation work, but without disconnecting from muay thai, jiu jitsu, MMA itself, after all, I'll need to be well prepared in all aspects for the fight”, he stated Renan Barao
The muscle gain work developed especially for Renan can be measured in numbers. The potiguar, who weighs 71 kilos, weighs approximately 75 kilos, but guarantees that he is fine with his new weight. “I feel better prepared, with more strength, but maintaining agility. This will be important in combat, both when attacking and defending”, explained Renan.
Despite the strength gain, Renan guarantees that the weight cut will not be a problem. The fighter must weigh 61 kg. the day before the fight, June 6th.
“The forecast is that a few weeks before the fight I will start weight loss work and do it more easily. With less fat on my body, I will be able to lose the extra weight more quickly and then gain it back once the weigh-in is over,” he said.
the fight between Urijah faber e Renan Barao will be the second most important of UFC 147, an event that takes place on July 7th, in Las Vegas, in the United States. The main attraction of the show will be the vacant middleweight belt dispute between Anderson Silva e Chael Sonnen
