UFC Vegas 121 free fight: Raoni Barcelos wins Fight of the Night vs. Khalid Taha

Raoni Barcelos is no stranger to putting on upsets and bangers.

Barcelos, a seasoned UFC bantamweight contender, has racked up several upset wins and checks in Fight of the Night bonuses. One of Barcelos' first wars in the octagon came in 2020, when he defeated Khalid Taha in a unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 17. Like many of his fights, Barcelos had to battle some early adversity but then went on to take over the bout.
