UFC 142: Edson Barboza vs. Terry Etim [Preview]
Terry Etim was forced out of MMA for over a year with a damaged rib, though done a many on his lapse to UFC with a 17 second acquiescence over Edward Faaloloto during UFC 138. In front of his associate countrymen, he was means to acquire a Submission of a Night divided (tying a UFC career record with 4) and softened his record to 6-3 in a Octagon. He’s a maestro fighter, one who deserved a event to lapse to a hearth of MMA for what could also be a star-making spin for himself as good as others on a show.
The undefeated Edson Barboza detonate into UFC with a TKO feat around leg kicks over Mike Lullo during UFC 123. The former Ring of Combat Lightweight champion has dual “Fight of a Night” honors in his prior forays within a enclosure and there’s no reason to trust that this one can’t go a same approach as well. He’s an chosen turn striker; Barboza’s black belt in Muay Thai will infer to be a large difference.
Etim has some-more career submissions than Barboza has fights, though in a quite distinguished contest, a immature Brazilian has a critical advantage. With fatal chopping leg kicks, Barboza will put Etim down on a mat, anticipating to pierce into a position to finish a quarrel late.
Pick: Edson Barboza around 3rd Round TKO
