Paul Felder open to Edson Barboza trilogy, but ‘main event or bust’

Paul Felder and Edson Barboza are tied at one fight apiece, so a trilogy could make sense down the road.

Felder defeated Barboza by split decision in the UFC 242 co-main event last weekend in Abu Dhabi. It was a rematch from their first fight back in 2015, which the Brazilian won by unanimous decision. Though the rematch was razor-thin close, the decision proved to be somewhat controversial, with Felder earning a 30-27 scorecard from one judge. 13 of 16 media members on MMADecisions.com scored the fight for Barboza, who also got a 30-27 scorecard from a judge.
