UFC on Fuel TV: Barão vs. McDonald (also known as UFC on Fuel TV 7) was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on February 16, 2013, at Wembley Arena in London, United Kingdom.
In his first title defense, Renan Barão faced Michael McDonald on February 16, 2013 for the UFC Interim Bantamweight Championship at UFC on Fuel TV: Barão vs. McDonald.
McDonald was competitive with capable take-down defense and crisp boxing - particularly - in the first two rounds, but was worn down by Barão's more diverse skill-set as he mixed in knees and kicks standing, and often looked to take the fight to the floor (with success). Upon executing a strong take-down in the fourth round, McDonald tried to explode to his feet but instead gave Barão opportunity to expertly secure an arm-triangle choke while passing into side control: McDonald tapped at 3:57 in the fourth round. The win also won him his first Submission of the Night honors.
