Edson Barboza scored his first win at featherweight. After going three rounds against Makwan Amirkhani, the Brazilian’s striking prowess proved to be too much for ‘Mr. Finland’ and he scored a unanimous decision victory at UFC Fight Island 5. On Twitter, pro athletes praised his performance.
Sucks to not be a part of this. Still a good match up though
