6 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Cerrone vs. Miller

By Jay Anderson /

2. Edson Barboza vs. Evan Dunham

Weight Class: Lightweight Edson Barboza (13-2) has three (three!) leg kick TKOs in his career, two of which took place in the UFC. That's a UFC record, and think about this: Jose Aldo, known for vicious leg kicks, doesn't have a single one. Former UFC heavyweight Pat Barry also has three leg kick TKOs in his career, but only one came in the UFC. Coming off a loss to Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, Barboza will be kicking Evan Dunham Wednesday night (he literally will - Barboza attempts and lands more leg kicks than almost anyone else in the lightweight division), a three-time Fight of the Night winner who is coming off back-to-back losses against Rafael Dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone as well (Cowboy loves to fight, and fight often). This fight is likely to be a war, with Dunham possibly fighting for his job, and Barboza for relevance in the lightweight division. I expect Barboze to come out on top with a TKO victory late in the fight (lets say the third), if he doesn't do something flashy, like his 2012 Knockout of the Year kick over Terry Etim.
