\"Edson<\/a><\/p>\n

“He was supposed to fight Nate Diaz, but Nate didn\u2019t accept the fight. We won\u2019t look to opponents now. We have to beat anyone they put in front of us. Whatever they do, we will fight and win. We won\u2019t call this or that guy out.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“There\u2019s Rafael dos Anjos vs. Nate Diaz and a few other good fights now, so (Barboza) should fight the winner of one of them next. I think that (Diaz) would be an interesting fight to promote Barboza in the media because (Barboza) doesn\u2019t talk too much, so a fight with Nate Diaz would be good in that sense, but Bobby Green was also a great fight.<\/em><\/p>\n

“There are many guys in this division, many tough fights. We\u2019ll have Melendez vs. Pettis now, and there\u2019s Nurmagomedov, Trujillo and many other fighters, and (Barboza) can beat every single one of them.”<\/em><\/p>\n

During a recent interview with MMAFighting.com<\/a>, Alex Davis discussed the career of his athlete, Edson Barboza (pictured).<\/p>\n
