On paper, Edson Barboza lost five of his previous six UFC bouts. In his mind, though, he’s on a two-fight winning streak after getting the short end of the stick against Paul Felder and Dan Ige.
This time, Barboza wants to be compensated financially by the UFC for the controversial loss in Florida.
The Brazilian striker made his debut as a featherweight at Saturday night’s UFC on ESPN 8 in Jacksonville, and he is confident he did enough to win the first couple of rounds. In the end, however, Troy Wincapaw was the only judge to score the bout that way.
