An Interim Bantamweight Championship bout between Urijah Faber and Renan Barão headlined the card, with Barão delivering a composed five-round performance to claim the title and extend his unbeaten run. The win established Barão as the division’s clear standard during Champion Dominick Cruz’s prolonged injury absence, a situation that ultimately led to Cruz being stripped and Barão elevated to undisputed Champion without the fight ever taking place.
