Edson Barboza Analysis: Leg kicks are his specialty
Edson Barboza (24-11) had a storied 13-year UFC career, going 18-11 overall. He is 38 years old, looking to be in the best shape of his life, and he has defeated Sodiq Yusuff and Billy Quarantillo in back-to-back battles. He entered his most recent battle as the underdog, and on Saturday, he’ll be looking for an even more unlikely victory. Barboza has a 75-inch reach and is 5’11”. Edson Barboza is still defying the passage of time, and based on his recent physique from his last two fights, it appears that his athleticism and cardio are at their best. When he faced off against Yusuff and Quarantillo, he appeared to be an older version of himself. His greatest weapon, the leg kick, appears to be more proficient than ever, and as he gets older, his passion for combat only grows.
Lerone Murphy Analysis: He’s never lost
Since 2019, Lerone Murphy (13-0-1) has amassed a 5-0-1 record in the UFC. His only loss was a split draw in his debut match, and he has gone undefeated in the battles that followed. He defeated Josh Culibao by unanimous decision in his most recent victory, and he’ll try to move up the rankings and maintain his spotless record here. Murphy has a reach of 73.5 inches and stands 5’9″. Since making his debut, Lerone Murphy has been on a roll, and with every cage appearance, he seems to be developing into a more complete mixed martial artist. He is an English traditional kickboxer whose style is similar to that of his countryman Leon Edwards.
