MEXICO CITY – Raoni Barcelos got a much-needed win Saturday when he submitted Cristian Quinonez at UFC Fight Night 237 . After losing his past two fights, Barcelos (18-5 MMA, 7-4 UFC) was tasked with going into enemy territory at Mexico City Arena. He thrived in that environment, going back-and-forth with Quinonez (18-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC) before locking in a rear-naked choke for the tap at the 2:04 mark of Round 3.

It was difficult for him, but he managed to thrive and get his hand raised for the first time since October 2022. “I needed to win,” Barcelos said through an interpreter in his post-fight interview with Paul Felder
