UFC Fight Night 128: Edson Barboza vs. Kevin Lee Fight Card<\/strong><\/p>\n

The octagon will return to Atlantic City on April 21 for UFC Fight Night 128.<\/p>\n

The event, which will air on FS1, is headlined by a key lightweight tilt between perennial division contenders Edson Barboza and Kevin Lee.<\/p>\n

Barboza recently had his three-fight win streak snapped by Khabib Nurmagomedov at December’s UFC 219 event<\/a> in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Prior to his setback to “The Eagle”, the Brazilian had scored impressive victories over Anthony Pettis, Gilbert Melendez and most recently a nasty knockout of Beneil Dariush<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kevin Lee was most recently in action at October’s UFC 216 event where he suffered a third-round submission loss to Tony Ferguson<\/a> in a bout for the promtions interim lightweight title.<\/p>\n

That loss snapped a five-fight win streak for Lee, who had previosuly defeated Efrain Escudero, Jake Matthews, Magomed Mustafaev, Francisco Trinaldo and most recently Michael Chiesa.<\/p>\n

In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 128 former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar will attempt to rebound from his first career stoppage loss when he rematches Cub Swanson.<\/p>\n

Edgar suffered a first-round knockout loss to surging featherweight contender Brian Ortega in the co-main event of UFC 222 earlier this month in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cub Swanson most recently saw his four-fight win streak snapped by the aforementioned Brian Ortega this past December in Fresno.<\/p>\n

Swanson and Edgar first met in November of 2014 with Frankie emerging victorious by way of fifth-round submission.<\/p>\n
