Philadelphia has its official main event, and it has potential to be a barn burner. UFC officials announced on Tuesday that lightweight contenders Edson Barboza and Justin Gaethje will fight at UFC Philadelphia, on March 30.
A former World Series of Fighting champion, Justin Gaethje (19-2) will try and put together his first ever win streak in the Octagon. Most recently, the 30-year-old knocked out James Vick in August 2018, in a win that snapped a two-fight losing skid with TKO losses to of Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier.
Muay Thai specialist Edson Barboza (20-6) will also look to begin a new win streak when he meets Gaethje in March.
