Edson Barboza is going to take on the undefeated featherweight prospect Bryce Mitchell at the main card of UFC 272, and fans are really excited for this fight. Barboza is responsible for creating some of the most spectacular knockout UFC has ever seen. Mitchell is a pure wrestler, and this is a classic striker vs grappler matchup.
Barboza is obviously coming in with a lot of experience, and his last run with a grappler (Khabib Nurmagomedov) didn’t turn out too well. He is coming off from a loss against Giga Chikadze, and he is dying to get back on the win column. Mitchell is an undefeated prospect, and a win over Barboza could catapult his career to new heights.

Bro, I fought against everybody or whoever the UFC gave me – I fought. I always make weight. I always do everything right, and I don’t need to prove nothing. It’s one more fight. I want to get my ‘W.’ I want to give my best like always, and that’s it.”
