The next time Edson Barboza sets foot inside the UFC Octagon may very well be his last.
Barboza last fought in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen, where he defeated Makwan Amirkhani by way of unanimous decision. The win over Amirkhani saw Barboza return to the win column after three straight losses to Justin Gaethje, Paul Felder and Dan Ige in the last year and a half.
Barboza is currently on the last fight of his contract with the UFC and he is prepared to fight it out in order to pursue new opportunities with other promotions.
