LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Vegas 35: Barboza vs. Chikadze results throughout the night (Sat. 28th. August 2021) from the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Taking main event from the UFC Apex facility, a featherweight showdown between kickboxing standouts, the #9 ranked, Edson Barboza and promotional-perfect contender, the #10 rated, Giga Chikadze.
In the midst of a two-fight winning run from three outings at the featherweight limit, Nova Friburgo striking veteran, Barboza returns for the second time this year following a UFC 262 battle against Shane Burgos back in May — in which the Brazilian landed a peculiar third round knockout victory after an incredible back-and-forth Fight of the Night bout.
The victory marked former lightweight top-10 mainstay, Barboza’s second straight success following a prior ‘Fight Island’ unanimous decision win against Makwan Amirkhani last October.
For Georgian kickboxing ace, Chikadze — the Kings MMA staple has scored an eye-catching six consecutive victories in the UFC since his bow under the banner back in September 2019.
The former GLORY Kickboxing standout last featured in a co-headining slot against division veteran, Cub Swanson back in May at UFC Vegas 25 — stopping the Californian with a vicious first round liver kick.
