Edson Barboza welcomes newborn daughter hours after Justin Gaethje fight

In the main event of UFC Philadelphia, Justin Gaethje and Edson Barboza went to war. Unfortunately for Barboza he came up on the short end of the stick, suffering a knockout loss in the first round. While losing a fight is just about the worst thing that can happen to a fighter, Barboza’s day did a 180 pretty quickly.

Right after the fight the Brazilian fighter headed back to Florida to be with his wife Bruna, who was about to give birth. Barboza is now the proud father of a daughter named Victoria. He posted the happy news on social media:
