The fight world is buckling up for a phenomenal bout, as featherweights Edson Barboza and Gigi Chikadze meet this Saturday in the UFC on ESPN main event.
Eleven years into his UFC career, Barboza (22–9) looks better than ever. He will enter this fight with an incredibly shredded physique, prepared for a tough battle against Chikadze (13–2), who has been nearly unstoppable in the cage.
“It’s crazy, I’m 35 years old and I feel better than ever,” says Barboza. “Before, I was too hard on my body. Right now, I am very healthy. I’ve learned about my work, and this was the best camp of my career.
