Renan Barão got destroyed. I gave him a very small boost when he came back into the league to represent the real-life progress he made between his initial build and now. But apparently he still just doesn't have...something. Not sure what, because his overall is right where it should be...he just loses. A lot. And to shitty fighters.... Hopefully Underdogs can find the holes and turn this guy legit.
