Edson Barboza doesn’t get scared by much, but when he made the trip from Florida to Philadelphia in February for a press tour to promote this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night main event against Justin Gaethje, he did shiver a little.
“I really don’t miss the Jersey weather,” laughed Barboza. “I was so scared.”
The move from New Jersey and the Iron Army squad to Florida and American Top Team made headlines last July, but the reason had nothing to do with any drama with his former team.
“It was important to make my family happy,” said Barboza.
