It got bloody and it was a battle but Paul Felder was able to avenge his first UFC loss with a split decision over Edson Barboza in the UFC 242 co-main event.
Felder was relentless with his offense as he was constantly stalking Barboza across the cage while the lightweights just battered each other over 15 straight minutes. What resulted was a painfully close decision for the second time between these two lightweights but the judges scored the fight 30-27, 29-28 and 27-30 with Felder getting the nod.
“Edson is one of the biggest studs in this division,” Felder said following the win.
