Undefeated Brazilian lightweight Edson Barboza likely will
serve the first obligation of a multi-fight deal with the UFC when he
meets Darren Elkins at UFC 123.
Sources close to the event informed MMAjunkie.com of
the matchup Wednesday evening and said the fighters have already agreed to the proposed contest, though bout agreements have yet
to be distributed.
Although not officially announced, UFC 123 takes place Nov. 20 at The Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit.
