Seasoned veteran Edson Barboza has had a change of opponents for his second fight at featherweight. Previously paired up against heavy-hitter Jeremy Stephens for a battle on October 10, the muay thai specialist will now take on rising prospect Sodiq Yusuff on the same day, Combate reports.
In desperate need of a win, Edson Barboza (20-9) will try to recover from the first ever three-fight losing skid of his career. With losses to Dan Ige, Paul Felder and Justin Gaethje, the 34-year-old’s last victory dates back to December 2018, when he TKO’d top lightweight Dan Hooker.
