A featherweight contest between Edson Barboza and Shane Burgos has been added to UFC 262.

That’s according to multiple outlets following an initial report from Combate stating it would take place at the pay-per-view event set for May 15. No location has been confirmed for now, but it will either take place in Las Vegas or Abu Dhabi.

It follows the news of Barboza signing a new multi-fight contract with the UFC late last month. The Brazilian recently snapped a three-fight losing streak with a unanimous decision victory over Makwan Amirkhani in October.

Currently ranked No. 14 in the featherweight rankings, the former lightweight will undoubtedly be looking to climb the ranks further in hopes of becoming a UFC champion for the first time.

A win over the No. 12-ranked Burgos would certainly help Barboza go closer to that goal, but it won’t be an easy task.

Although Burgos is coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Josh Emmett, “Hurricane” is one of the most durable and entertaining fighters in the division who is also a winner of six of his eight UFC outings.

A win over a veteran in Barboza would arguably be the biggest of his career and put him back on track for his own goal of becoming UFC champion.

No matter what happens, it promises to be a violent war.

Here is how the UFC 262 card currently looks:

Priscila Cachoeira vs. Gina Mazany
Viviane Araujo vs. Katlyn Chookagian
Alex Perez vs. Matt Schnell
Andrea Lee vs. Antonina Shevchenko
Edson Barboza vs. Shane Burgos

Burgos Falls In UFC Featherweight Ranks

Shane Burgos played his part in a back-and-forth war with Josh Emmett, but the result ultimately affected his place in the featherweight ranks.

Burgos met Emmett in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 3 this past weekend as the highly-anticipated fight certainly delivered.

Although Emmett was compromised early on with multiple injuries, he persevered and managed to drop Burgos multiple times en route to a unanimous decision victory.

For Burgos, it ended a three-fight winning streak and also saw him drop down the featherweight rankings as a result. With the new UFC rankings posted, “Hurricane” dropped down four places to be tied at 14 with Sodiq Yusuff.

Emmett, meanwhile, kept his place at No. 8 while the likes of Dan Ige, Arnold Allen, Jose Aldo, Ryan Hall and the aforementioned Yusuff moved up one spot each.

Other notable changes saw Alexander Volkov drop down to No. 8 with Alistair Overeem moving up to No. 7. Volkov suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Curtis Blaydes in the UFC Vegas 3 headliner with the latter keeping his place as the No. 3 contender at heavyweight.

Following her win over Roxanne Modafferi at UFC Vegas 3, Lauren Murphy moved up three spots to be tied with Jessica Eye for the No. 4 position in the women’s flyweight rankings. Modafferi dropped down one spot to No. 7 with Jennifer Maia also moving down one to No. 6.
