Raoni Barcelos (16-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC)

Bantamweight (135lbs): 5-0 (UFC)

Featherweight (145lbs):  10-1 (MMA)

Raoni Barcelos competed for the entirety of his professional MMA career at 145lbs, while outside of the octagon, at least. Barcelos was a multiple time Resurrection Fighting Alliance (RFA) Featherweight Champion before entering the UFC.

Barcelos, who stands a 5’7″ tall, and is equipped with a 67″ reach abandoned the featherweight division after just one fight at 145lbs in the octagon.

Barcelos has looked practically flawless on the big stage thus far and at 34 years old he will be a fighter to watch on the scale for weigh ins and of course in the octagon on fight night.
