New Jersey, April 22: Kevin Lee stops Edson Barboza in a lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night 128: Barboza vs. Lee at Broadwalk Hall in Atlantic City on Saturday (April 21).

Lee dominated Barboza throughout the fight except for a third-round spinning head kick that landed for Barboza. Lee, in the end earned a fifth-round TKO at the 2:18 mark after the cageside doctor waved off the fight due to a big cut over Barboza's right eye.

The Motown Phenom got back on track after an interim title fight loss to Tony Ferguson this past October. While, Barboza lost for the second straight time for the first time in his career.

In the co-main event, Frankie Edgar bounced back from the first knockout loss of his career with a unanimous decision win over Cub Swanson in a featherweight bout by earning trio of 30-27 scores.

The pair who were on the back of defeats to Brian Ortega were involved in a rematch from three years ago in UFC Fight Night 57 where Edgar stopped Swanson via a submission in the fifth round.

A lightweight bout opened the main card in which Jim Miller stopped Dan Hooker after he connected a wicked knee at the third minute of the first round.

Next up, Aljamain Sterling met an undefeated Brett Johns in a bantamweight bout. Sterling ended Johns' streak as he took a unanimous decision with a trio of 30-27 scores.

Later, David Branch caused an upset as he stopped Thiago Santos halfway through the first round of a middleweight scrap with a massive right hand to the jaw and followed it with a few strikes on the ground.

Meanwhile, Justin Willis also took a unanimous decision against a tough Chase Sherman in a heavyweight bout with trio of 29-28 scores.

Earlier in the prelims, Ryan LaFlare outworked Alex Garcia for decision with a trio of 30-27 scores in the welterweight bout. While, Corey Anderson and Tony Martin also took unanimous decisions against Patrick Cummins and Keita Nakamura respectively.

There were two more bouts on the preliminary card and they ended in stoppages as Siyar Bahadurzada defeated Luan Chagas via knock out, while Ricky Simon defeated Merab Dvalishvili by a technical knock out.
