Edson Baraboza didn’t see his recent ESPY nomination as a personal accomplishment so much as he did a win for the sport of MMA.
Barboza’s spinning-wheel-kick KO of Terry Etim at UFC 142 recently was nominated as one of the year’s top 16 plays as part of the 2012 ESPN ESPY Awards. .
Baraboza said that having an MMA highlight actually rank among those in the NFL, NBA, MLB and worldwide soccer is already a big win for his chosen sport.
