Report: Edson Barboza-Paul Felder Rematch Slated for UFC 242

The Ultimate Fighting Championship has added a significant rematch to UFC 242, as it will reportedly see Edson Barboza run it back with Paul Felder.

According to MMAJunkie.com on Thursday, Barboza (20-7) will be facing Felder (16-4) once again at lightweight at UFC 242. The two previously met at UFC on Fox 16 in 2015, where Barboza handed Felder the first loss of his career in the form of a unanimous decision.

Barboza has had a bit of a rough stretch over the last two years, with his beatdown of Dan Hooker last December surrounded by losses to Justin Gaethje, Kevin Lee and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
