The UFC announced on Monday that welterweights Leon Edwards and Bryan Barberena will do battle at UFC Rotterdam on September 2nd. This will be the Octagon’s second trip to the Netherlands, with their debut occurring last May in the same city.
Edwards (13-3) has won three consecutive bouts, including an impressive unanimous decision win over Vicente Luque. The best win to date for “Rocky” is a third-round rear-naked choke finish of dangerous striker Albert Tumenov. He also notably holds an eight-second KO over Seth Baczynski back in April 2015.
