Brazilian striking sensation Edson Barboza and former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim title challenger Kevin Lee will headline the UFC Fight Night 128 mixed martial arts (MMA) event TONIGHT (Sat., April 21, 2018) live on FOX Sports 1 from inside Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Barboza (19-5) is coming off a one-sided beatdown at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 219 this past December. Losing to “The Eagle” snapped a three-fight win streak in which the Brazilian turned away former lightweight champions Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez, as well as divisional standout Beneil Dariush.
Lee (16-3) has not competed since last fall’s submission loss to Tony Ferguson at UFC 216, one that cost him the interim lightweight title. Prior to that, “Motown Phenom” captured five-straight victories, including finishes over Michael Chiesa, Francisco Trinaldo, and Jake Matthews.
