Edson Barboza vs. Ilia Topuria added to UFC Fight Night in October

This should be a fun one.

Laura Fernández Bynilla of Eurosport Spain has reported that a fight between Edson Barboza and Ilia Topuria is set for an upcoming UFC Fight Night scheduled on Oct. 29 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Topuria hinted at this fight earlier this week and has since confirmed it on social media.

Barboza is 2-2 in his past four appearances. The Brazilian snapped a three-fight losing streak with back-to-back wins over Makwan Amirkhani and Shane Burgos, the latter being one of the scariest knockouts in UFC history.
