LAS VEGAS – Dione Barbosa didn’t hesitate. When she got the call to compete at Dana White’s Contender Series 61 on less than a week’s notice, Barbosa didn’t even let her manager get to the question. “When my manager called me, he was like, ‘How much do you weigh right now?’” Barbosa said. “I was like, ‘I will fight, just tell me when.’” Barbosa said she weighed 141 pounds at the time, and she had no qualms about dropping down to the 126 women’s flyweight limit for the opportunity at a UFC contract. Barbosa took full advantage of that opportunity Tuesday when she dominated Rainn Guerrero and submitted her with an armbar at the 4:35 mark of the first round. With that performance, Barbosa secured a UFC deal from promotion president Dana White
