A highly anticipated featherweight bout between Edson Barboza and Shane Burgos took place on the main card of tonight’s UFC 262 event.<\/p>\n

Barboza (22-9 MMA) had entered tonight’s bout looking to build off his impressive decision win over Makwan Amrikhani from back in October. That win had snapped a three-fight losing streak for the Brazilian, as Edson had previously found himself on the wrong end of split decision rulings in fights<\/a> with Dan Ige and Paul Felder.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Shane Burgos entered UFC 262 looking to rebound from his unanimous decision loss to Josh Emmett from back in June. Prior to that setback, ‘Hurricane’ had rattled off three-straight wins, including a victory over Cub Swanson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
