Andre Ewell (14-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) traveled to Brazil for his UFC debut, faced a former champion who badly missed weight, but still found a way to take home a decision over Renan Barao (34-7 MMA, 9-6 UFC). The bantamweight bout took place on the FS1-broadcast main card of tonight’s UFC Fight Night 137 event from Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo. The fights followed prelims on FS2 and UFC Fight Pass. The two started quickly, but as Barao rushed forward, he ran into a big left hand that sent him crashing to the canvas. Still, Barao was able to pop quickly back to his feet and push into the clinch, slowing things down and giving him a chance to recover
