LAS VEGAS – Edson Barboza is fully embracing the expectations around his UFC Fight Night 230 main event with Sodiq Yusuff.
With 28 octagon appearances to his name, Barboza (23-11 MMA, 17-11 UFC) has formed a reputation as one of the consistently great action fighters in the game. He gets a complimentary style match in Saturday’s featherweight headliner against Yusuff (13-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC), which takes place at the UFC Apex and streams on ESPN+.
Barboza has racked up a UFC-record-tying eight Fight of the Night bonuses during his career, and if Yusuff can take the heat, he’ll be prepared to add another one to the resume.
