Edson Barboza knows a thing or two about flashy
knockouts, as witnessed by his now-legendary UFC 142 knockout of Terry
Etim. Now he can brag about first-round upsets.

Barboza, a No. 14 seed in the voting for ESPN’s 2012 ESPY Awards “Play
of the Year,” was voted past No. 3 seed and PGA Tour golfer Louis
Oosthuizen for his double-eagle at the Masters this past April.

The Brazilian striker is now one of eight finalists eligible to take home the 2012 ESPY at the July 11 awards show.
