Video: UFC Fight Night 230 Post-Fight Press Conference
Edson Barboza and Sodiq Yusuff were an easy choice for “Fight of the Night” on Saturday.
The featherweights received $50,000 apiece for their back-and-forth, five-round battle in the UFC Fight Night 230 headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Yusuff had Barboza reeling early in Round 1, but the Brazilian veteran displayed tremendous resilience in a remarkable comeback performance. He dropped Yusuff with a spinning wheel kick in the third frame and relied on consistent body work to earn a hard-fought unanimous decision triumph.
