Right as Vitor Belfort vs. Kelvin Gastelum was announced as the main event of the UFC’s March 11th return to Fortaleza, Brazil, Combate reported another major bout for the card. In a battle of top 10 lightweights. Edson Barboza, the #5 contender, will take on #9 contender Beneil Dariush in what’s likely to be one of the top main card fights, if not the co-main event. The card is the UFC’s first in Fortaleza since 2013, when Fabricio Werdum vs. Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera headlined The Ultimate Fighter Brazil’s second season finale.
Barboza is coming off arguably the two biggest wins of his career, decision victories over former Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez and former UFC champion Anthony Pettis. The Pettis fight was notable for being the first time an opponent had shut Pettis down in a fight with purely range striking-based game plan. Barboza had previously lost to Tony Ferguson a year ago in one of the best fights of 2015.
Dariush lost by submission to Michael Chiesa in a big upset on the prelims of the April Fox network card, only to return quickly to knock out James Vick in his next fight. The world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt returned in November to take a tepid decision win over divisional dark horse Rashid Magomedov.
The way their styles match up, this one has the makings of a Fight of the Night candidate.
