Kevin Lee on Edson Barboza: ‘I’m Going to Whoop This Boy Even Worse Than Khabib Did’

A world class Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight bout takes place Saturday April 21 inside the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, when potential title contenders Kevin Lee and Edson Barboza meet inside the Octagon.

Lee is coming off a loss in October for the interim lightweight belt, where he was submitted in the third round against Tony Ferguson. The defeat ended his five-fight winning streak.

Barboza last took to the cage in December against the recently-crowned lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. “The Eagle” nullified Barboza’s striking game on that night, earning a dominant unanimous decision victory.
