After a devastating KO finish over Beneil Dariush at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 106, lightweight Edson Barboza has called out his next opponent. He’s looking for redemption with a rematch.
In an interview with MMA Junkie, Barboza said “Imagine it, guys. Me and Ferguson, five rounds? That’d be crazy, guys. Please UFC, give me a chance.”
Barboza and Ferguson initially went toe-to-toe at the TUF 22 Finale in 2015. Ferguson defeated Barboza via submission, though Barboza took the fight on short notice.
“I think I deserve the title shot,” Barboza told MMA Junkie. “I’ve been in the UFC for a long time. I’ve got really good wins in my last three fights. I’m ready to fight five rounds. I can’t wait, man. I’m very excited to fight five rounds. I hope the UFC gives me a chance.”
