BOSTON – A lot of fighters wanted a pay-per-view spot on UFC 220, which features the most highly anticipated clash of heavyweight talent in years. Brazilian light heavyweight Francimar Barroso got it, though, and he doesn’t plan to let the opportunity to go to waste. “I will make my dream come true with a convincing performance,” Barroso (19-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC), who faces Gian Villante (15-9 MMA, 5-6 UFC), told MMAjunkie in advance of Saturday’s card. “Either knock him out or submit him, I’ll put myself in the spot to fight in the top 10 and realize my dream of being a UFC champion.” UFC 220 takes place at TD Garden in Boston. The main card, which includes two title fights and Villante vs. Barroso, airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
