When Shane Burgos found out Edson Barboza would be standing across the octagon from him this weekend, he couldn’t have been more fired up.
The featherweight matchup between Burgos and Barboza will take place on the main card of Saturday’s UFC 262 event. The fight card takes place at the Toyota Center in Houston and will be headlined by a vacant lightweight title fight between Charles Oliveira and former Bellator world champion Michael Chandler.
Burgos enters the matchup on the heels of a decision loss to Josh Emmett in one of 2020’s best fights of the year.
