Edson Barboza to Face Steve Garcia at UFC Event on Feb. 22

Edson Barboza will lock horns with Steve Garcia at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Feb. 22.

MMAFighting.com was first to report the featherweight pairing. A location and headliner for the card have yet to be confirmed.

Barboza had a two-bout winning streak snapped in his most recent outing, as he dropped a five-round verdict against Lerone Murphy in the UFC Fight Night 241 headliner on May 18. Prior that, the 38-year-old Brazilian had earned back-to-back victories over Sodiq Yusuff and Billy Quarantillo.
