In a recent interview, he said,
At the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White said that he had scored the fight for Barboza. This is the second straight time Barboza wasn’t happy with the judgment received.
After dropping a similar decision loss to Paul Felder, Barboza’s manager had challenged the judge’s decision, justifying, “We have the utmost respect for Paul Felder. He thinks he won, and he’s very coherent. He also agrees that the scorecards were absurd. We all know it’s absurd that one judge scores it 30-27 to one fighter and another judge scores it 30-27 to the other.”
Given the nature of his two losses Edson Barboza made it clear that he wants the UFC to respect him and show him some love,
Edson Barboza made it very clear he wants someone from the top 10 for his next challenge inside the Octagon.
With this loss, Edson Barboza is now officially on a career-low of a three-fight losing streak. He in the past had hinted that he might leave the company. At 34, the Brazilian has proven it in his last few matches that he still has plenty to offer in the cage. His win over Dan Hooker still stands as one amazing knockout. With the fight, Barboza ’s record now stands as 20-9.
