Edson Barboza: 14 UFC fights, 7 OTN Bonuses, 9 fights on short notice, Never Pulled Out of a Fight

[legkicktko]

This guy deserves some respect and appreciation man.

Also most kick knockouts in UFC history (any weight class)

Leads LW division in knockdowns.

Way to jinx an awesome fight

You forgot the "embarrased by Varner, Cerrone, Johnson, and Ferguson". He wins fights he's supposed to but crumbles when tested.

 

[AmazingGebi]

Never could get his groove.

I know people who lost grips of money on that Varner fight.

Don't forget glass chin.

He got screwed by that fence grab IMO

Don't forget glass chin.

Yep. Shoulda added that to the crumbling part.

When did TS say he's the future LW GOAT or anything like that?

Edson is a fun fighter to watch and fights often. He gave us one of the greatest headkick KOs of all time. But nah lets just shit on him in a thread that is not asking for it.

Lol. You guys encompass everything wrong with the Internet. People who can't see their own feet, but they see athletes' short comings so lucidly.

I am a fan of Barboza. His chin is so weak, it is like Overeem status right now. A tap and he's all wobbled. I love his kicks, they're the best

You do realize he's been dropped twice in his mma career. He's been wobbled a grand total of 3 times (minus the illegal kick from Ferg).

The exciting thing about his fights is that you really feel like at any second he or his opponent is gonna get KTFO.

Also, respect to him for not crying about that upkick Tony hit him with. That was a great fight while it lasted

Legend status approved.

Cool. He's got a great highlight reel. There are a lot of flashy guys who fight in the UFC. He's a middle of the road LW at this point so why does he deserve special recognition?

Yep. Criticizing a fighter for his flaws should be outlawed.

not every fighter is gonna be the best in the world, the least you could do is acknowledge the great fights he's given us win or lose

 

[VitorReem]

Love edson. One of the most fun fighters EVER in mma to watch. Just fantastic speed power and technique. He'd do himself some favors by not taking those short notice matches and make sure he has time to recover and prepare for his fights.

Varner cheated and held the fence
He'd beat Cerrone in a rematch IMO
And he was beating Ferguson before the illegal kick

Because you nerds bitch and moan about boring fighters and fighters who are always pulling out of fights. Here you have a guy that gives no fucks, fights injured, puts on a show, and you shit on him.

He's an exciting but flawed fighter. There are many in that mold.
