Shortly after Edson Barboza earned his second straight win against a former champion in Gilbert Melendez at UFC on FOX 20 (see it), Will Brooks took to Twitter to call out the Brazilian bomber.
And while Edson isn’t opposed to taking on the ex-Bellator MMA lightweight king -- who made a successful Octagon debut against Ross Pearson a few weeks ago at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 23 Finale — he’d much rather fight someone who is ahead of him on the rankings.
That said, if Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) matchmakers wants to book the fight, Edson tells MMA Junkie Radio he is all ready to go.
