“It went well,” Renfro said. “It’s not how I wanted it, but a top notch finish is a top notch finish. It was beautiful. It was brilliant, I just wanted to add a bit more of my artistry. I was hoping the guys would be able to stick with me and take a few more shots. I was really looking forward to putting on a show, but that’s okay. I’ll do a show next time.
At 25, 10-3 as a pro and 8-2 on UFC FIGHT PASS promotions, Renfro’s performance warranted a call or request for attention from the UFC, but whatever is in the spirit of Renfro is one more performance to secure UFC FIGHT PASS Male Fighter of the Year honors.
“Honestly, I’ve always wanted to do this,” Renfro explained. “I’ve seen guys win fighter of the year, and I wanted to do it. Honestly, I was very hurt about that last year, so for me to start the year taking one loss, bounce back and get three quick wins, I think I deserve it. That would be dope, I would be honored.

The ultimate goal is the UFC, but Renfro is calling an angel to bless him with another main event before 2022. He knows there are higher mountains ahead of him, but since the middle of his career at Cage Fury FC , being the face of UFC FIGHT PASS has been on his mind.
“My first FIGHT PASS interview, I really cried,” Renfro said. “I was so happy to just be mentioned by FIGHT PASS. Small steps towards a dream come true. I feel like a lot of people don’t care, they just want to go to the UFC. They don’t care. don’t care about legacy. For me, I understand legacy, and this is the UFC FIGHT PASS chapter of my career right now and it means a lot to me. I want to be able to tell my kids about it one day.
Other than time and a main event caliber fighter, the only thing standing in Renfro’s way is potentially Bo Nickal.
