6 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. Swanson
2. Bobby Green vs. Edson Barboza
Weight Class: Lightweight The co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. Swanson sees a key lightweight match-up that will keep one fighter in the title hunt and drop the other to the back of a very long line. Bobby Green (23-5) has been on a real run of late, having not lost since back in 2011 when he was in Strikeforce. On an eight fight win streak, he'll take on the dangerous Edson Barboza - the only man in the UFC to win two fights with leg kicks. Barboza (142) is coming off a body kick TKO win over Evan Dunham, and will be a different style of fighter for Green, but Green's list of victims includes some pretty durable names - Thompson, Healy, Krause, and Volkmann among them. Look for Green to take home a close decision in this fight.
