Renan Barao failed to find himself in the fight against TJ Dillashaw at UFC 173, an event held this Saturday night (24), in Las Vegas, in the United States. In addition to lose the bantamweight belt to the surprising American, the Brazilian saw an unbeaten streak of almost 10 years and 32 fights fall. But the setback did not make Dedé Pederneiras, leader of Nova União, Barão's academy, lose heart.

Shortly after his student's defeat, Dedé took to Twitter to congratulate TJ and guarantee Barão's return. “I would like to thank everyone for their support, congratulate TJ and the Alpha Male Team, on today's well-deserved victory. Barão will come back stronger”, assured Dedé via the microblog.

Renan Barao was considered a strong favorite to defend the UFC bantamweight belt against TJ Dillashaw, but with a game of great speed, the North American surprised the Brazilian from the first round, when he managed a knockdown until the fifth round, when he ended the fight with a technical knockout, taking the title from the Brazilian.
