This will be a really fun fight between two highly skilled and well-rounded fighters. Neither of them are near a title fight at 135, but they both would be able to compete with the very best at Bantamweight.

If there is a list of the most underrated and underappreciated UFC fighters, Raoni Barcelos has to be on there. It is crazy that he is not even ranked at 135! Which speaks to the depth of the division. He is 5-1 in the bantamweight division, including a win over one of the fan bases favourite prospects, Said Nurmagomedov. And his last fight was razor close!! Raoni nearly had him finished at the end of the fight, if he were to get a rematch, I’d happily place a bet on him to get that win back. Raoni is well rounded, and aggressive. He is a lot of fun to watch, he has power and can grapple with the best in the world.

Victor Henry is finally making his UFC debut after this same fight fell through twice. He is undefeated since 2017 (go watch that fight he “lost” in 2020, it is one of the worst decisions I have ever seen. He did not lose. Some hometown shenanigans happening there). And he has competed with some of the best outside the UFC.  He is a really strong grappler, and mixes up his strikes really well.

This is a high HIGH level fight. And it will be a lot of fun. It is a damn shame it is flying under the radar. These are the fights that make UFC cards fun. Cant wait..
