On March 5th, we have a meeting between two of the most contrasting styles and fighters the UFC featherweight division has to offer. Number 10th ranked Edson ‘Junior’ Barboza meets number 11th Bryce ‘Thug Nasty’ Mitchell.
Barboza, 22-10, is coming off a tough loss against featherweight contender Giga Chikadze, being taken out before the final bell could ring in the third round. Now 36 years old, the former lightweight contender with a highlight reel that will stand the test of time, has fought his last four bouts at featherweight garnering a 2-2 record.
