<p>Former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao fights in Brazil for the first time since he signed with the UFC, vs. Mitch Gagnon at UFC Fight Night 58 on Dec. 20.</p>
"Fighting in Brazil for the first time is amazing," said Barao to Guilherme Cruz for MMAFighting. "I’m well trained, doing an excellent camp. Every fight is important. Just to have the opportunity to go in there and show my work is amazing. I’m really happy with the opportunity to fight here."
Barao's real goal though is to fight for the title in his home country, but he doesn't think division champion T.J. Dillashaw would bite.
"I think he would crap his pants," said Barao. "Fighting in the United States is easy. I want to see him fighting me in Brazil. It’s completely different.
"Dillashaw is talking too much crap. If we fight again, you can be sure it will be completely different,. When we fight again, he will see the real champion. I don’t like to make jokes, talk trash. I like to show my work inside the cage, show the best Renan Barao possible. He can enjoy that belt for now, because it’s coming back to Brazil soon."
Dillashaw is expected to fight former division champion Dominick Cruz early next year, and Barao thinks Cruz takes it.
"I believe Dominick wins," said Barao. "He has more weapons, and I think he wins."
And Barao wants a rematch with Dilashaw so bad he would pass up a title shot for it, should Cruz be champion.
"I’d rather fight Dillashaw first," said Barao. "It would be a big fight. Fighting Dominick later would be great. I just want to fight the best and bring the title back to Brazil.
"My goal is to fight for the title again. If (Dillashaw) has the title, I hope I can fight him as soon as possible. That’s my goal."
