So who does Edson Barboza fight next?

[rambosabeast]

Possible rematch with Michael Johnson, or Tony Ferguson? Looking at the rankings, and upcoming fights, I don't really know who could be lined up for him.

 

[myjohnson9]

I wish he would spinning back kick Conor's head clean off

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Whoever has the balls to step up.

 

[LEWIS540]

Johnson is fighting Khabib and Ferguson is fighting RDA, so......

 

[MCMXCIX]

Michael Chiesa
Will Brooks
Leonardo Santos
???

 

[Eddieg]

Whoever doesn't get the title shot from the Khabib-Johnson RDA-Ferguson fallout.

Michael Chiesa

[Zangief HW GOAT]

Nate Diaz for the lulz

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

LANDOOOOO

Al iaquinta

I heard he retired and went into the hotel business or something.

 

[Czech Yourself]

Loser of RDA vs Ferguson?

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Nate Diaz for the lulz

Totally agreed. I think Nate would be a good fight for Barboza, since he´s #4 and Barboza is #5. Although I´m not sure Nate would like the idea of having his leg chopped off after the fight.

 

[Kim Jong Un]

I feel bad for whoever it is.

 

[fortheo]

Chiesa is all that makes sense to me.

 

[The Beast Within]

did you see how he was dropped by a jab? conor beheads him

If Conor gets in that goofy Irish boxing stance, Barboza would kick his legs so bad, an amputation would be required.

Barboza got outclassed all 3 rounds vs MJ, atleast vs Ferg it was more competitive even though he got finished.

True but Barboza would be there for Nates long arms and snappy 1-2 which combined with lots of forward pressure is a great counter to a leg kick centered attack.

i don´t know man.... that forward pressure would be kicked out of him... Look at the RDA´s fight vs Nate for example.... of course RDA is a legit BJJ black belt and wasn´t afraid at all of Nate´s ground game, but that fight happened mostly on the feet and we saw what happened to Nate´s legs and footwork after a few of those RDA leg kicks landed.... now imagine Barboza´s kicks!!! Brutal.
