T.J. Dillashaw and Renan Barao

The UFC bantamweight championship remained around the waist of T.J. Dillashaw (12-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in the UFC on FOX 16 main event when the champion stopped Renan Barao (33-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in the fourth round to defend his title for the second time.

Many counted out Dillashaw after he was a runner-up on “The Ultimate Fighter 14.” In less than four years since, he’s staked a claim as  one of the top 135-pound fighters in history with a stat sheet to back it up.

Barao had a 32-fight unbeaten streak prior to his first encounter with Dillashaw. Now he’s suffered two losses to the champion and is forced to reconsider his future.

Check below for 50 post-fight facts to come out of UFC on FOX 16.
