Edson Barboza got back into the win column tonight (Sat., July 25, 2015) at UFC on FOX 16 by handing undefeated Paul Felder his first professional defeat inside United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
Barboza, 29, proved to be just a step faster than "Irish Dragon" throughout the three-round contest, landing several well-timed kicks, while avoiding Fedler's violent attacks and sometimes unorthodox techniques to earn a unanimous decision victory.
All three judges scored the fight 29-28.
In the opening round, both Felder and Barboza were getting off low kicks on one another, but "Irish Dragon" landed the first significant strike, a huge left hook, and Barboza's eye began to swell soon after.
