Former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao has a fight on the books that will be his first since he departed the promotion in 2019. Barao, 34, will compete in a featherweight bout against Tyson Duckworth (12-9) at Premier FC 32. The event takes place Friday at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass. and streams on FITE . In September 2013, Barao reached the pinnacle of mixed martial arts when he defeated Eddie Wineland for the interim UFC bantamweight championship.
