Multiple outlets confirmed the booking following an initial report
from Ag.Fight. UFC 301 takes place at Jeunesse Arena in Rio
de Janeiro. A headliner has not been announced for the event.
A training partner of former lightweight champ Charles
Oliveira, Brener emerged as one of the most highly-touted
prospects of the
Chute Boxe Diego Lima team in 2023. After scoring huge upset
wins against Zubaira
Tukhugov and Guram
Kutateladze, Brener scored a first-round KO win over Kaynan
Kruschewsky in his last outing in November.
Meanwhile, Orolbai made his promotional debut on four days’ notice
at welterweight against Uros Medic
in November, scoring an impressive submission win. The Kyrgyz
standout hasn’t lost a fight since 2020 and now rides a seven-fight
winning streak.
