Edson Barboza After his latest “Fight of the Night,” Edson Barboza is looking to fight once again before year’s end – and he’s hoping UFC officials will reward him with a matchup against one of the lightweight division’s best fighters. “I would really love that UFC could give an opportunity to fight against someone who is front of me in the rankings,” Barboza told MMAjunkie in his native Portuguese. “I want to move forward in the rankings to get closer to the tittle.” Barboza is currently slotted at No. 13 in the latest NOS Energy Drink MMA lightweight rankings
