ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – UFC lightweight Edson Barboza suffered a big career setback when he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov this past December. Barboza (19-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) hopes a win over Kevin Lee (16-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) convinces the UFC he should get another shot at the undefeated lightweight champion. “Of course, it’s very, very motivating,” Barboza told MMAjunkie in advance of his FS1-televised meeting with Lee, which headlines UFC Fight Night 128 on Saturday at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic, City, N.J.
