As Brazilian striking specialist Edson Barboza (11-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) puts the finishing touches on the preparations for his upcoming UFC 162 appearance, he’s brimming with confidence. After all, 13 fights into his MMA career, the knockout artist believes he’s finally found all the answers – or at least, “The Answer.” “The first day I trained with these guys over here, I felt like I was at home,” Barboza told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) through an interpreter. “The whole team welcomed me in. The first day I boxed with coach Mark Henry, it was like I had met him 15 years ago. Ricardo Almeida and Renzo Gracie are such nice guys. Frankie Edgar is a great person. Everyone here helps each other. “Things were so great, I brought my partner Marlon Moraes to train here with us.
