News Shane Burgos vs. Edson Barboza set to take place at UFC 262, May 15th

Tough fight for both, which makes this a really fun scrap
Edson really should be in the top 5 right now
 
Nice. Should be a violent time. I like Burgos. Hopefully he’s been working on that defense.
 
Still can't tell if Burgos is the son of my high school Spanish teacher....


Not even a joke.
 
Shane bullies him and gets the finish here.
 
A couple of guys who are at 145 to duck Bellator's James Gallagher at 135 and Conman McGertrude at 155.
 
What's not to like.

I gotta agree. Especially with how inactive some of the guys in the top 5.

Yair vs Edson will be nuts.

Lol. Imagine if it was Edson kicking the calfs of McGertrude. It would take less than 10 kicks to end that fight.
 
I thought Barboza's experiment at 145 would be over now that he turned 35.

He is not any closer to a belt at 145 than he was at 155 when he left. That weight cut has to be brutal for a 35 year old. His 75 inch reach is plenty at 155, he could even get away with it at 170, where he would have a speed advantage in addition to his devestating kicking power.
 
Tough outing for Barboza who’s a more technical striker, but often falls short against durable pressure fighters
