As far as the main event is concerned, both men are coming off losses. Barboza lost via decision to Khabib Nurmagamedov in UFC 219, while Lee lost to Tony Ferguson via submission in the third round of the interim lightweight title bout in UFC 216. This time around both the athletes will look to bounce back to try and get right back in the title hunt with a victory.

Meanwhile in the co-main event, both Frankie Edgar and Cub Swanson are on the back of submission defeats to Brian Ortega. This will be rematch from four years ago between the pair where Edgar stopped Swanson via submission in the final minute of the fifth round.

The undercard also features some must-see fights, including Welsh star Brett Johns stepping up in quality against Aljamain Sterling and a middleweight scrap between David Branch and Thiago Santos. Plus, we also have Chase Sherman taking on Justin Willis in a heavyweight bout and a lightweight bout between Jim Miller and Dan Hooker to round off the main card.

In the prelims we are set to see the likes of Ryan LaFlare and Alex Garcia fight in the welterweight headline. Plus, we will also see Corey Anderson and Patrick Cummins finally battle after their UFC 217 fight was cancelled.

This is why @EdsonBarbozaJr is human highlight reel.
