Review: 2011-11-05, both fighters start strong but Renan “Barao” Pegado surprises Brad Pickett with a hard knee that rocks the english, so the Brazilian tries to finish him with ground and pound but then submits Pickett with one of the best action of the year (it is very close to our 4 stars). Brad Pickett, ranked as the No.8 bantamweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 20-5-0 while Renan “Barao” Pegado had a record of 26-1-0. Pickett and Barao were awarded “Fight of the Night” honors (undercard of Leben vs Munoz – UFC 138). Watch the video!
