With 26-fight win streak in place, UFC 138's Renan Barao ready for title opportunity

BIRMINGHAM, England - In the buildup to Saturday's UFC 138 event, many MMA pundits have wondered aloud if a Brad Pickett victory could earn "One Punch" some consideration for a shot at current bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.

But as far as Pickett's co-feature opponent, Renan Barao, is concerned, that should probably be a two-way street.

"I'm well-prepared, and I've been training my best," Barao today told MMAjunkie.com through his interpreter. "I'm the best I've ever been. As every fighter in the UFC, the objective is to get to the top."
