Reneau, meanwhile, was victorious in her first promotional foray, as she battered Alexis Dufresne en route to a unanimous decision triumph at UFC 182. Reneau is 5-1 as a professional, with four of those triumphs coming inside the distance.
De la Torre is still looking for his first UFC win. After dropping a split decision to Mark Bocek in his debut last April, the MMA Lab representative had a loss to Brian Ortega at UFC on Fox 12 changed to a no contest after Ortega tested positive for anabolic steroids.
More commonly known as Tiago “Trator,” the 27-year-old Team Nogueira representative was successful in his first UFC outing, taking a unanimous decision triumph over Akbarh Arreola at UFC on Fox 12. “Trator” has currently won 10 consecutive bouts.
