UFC veteran Edson Barboza is sticking with the promotion he’s called home for over a decade.
Barboza’s management told MMA Fighting that Barboza, a longtime lightweight contender currently competing at 145 pounds, has re-signed with the UFC on a multi-fight deal. The exact terms of the contract were not disclosed.
According to Barboza’s manager Alex Davis, Barboza had one fight remaining on his previous contract.
“The UFC has opted to re-sign Barboza and keep him on the roster, and keep him active going forward,” Davis said. “Barboza and I believe he has what it takes to make a run for the belt and become champion, and that’s his focus.
