The Brazilian sensation has faced some of the best the UFC has had to offer over the years and through it all, he&#8217;s picked up some truly incredible wins to go alongside some unbelievably fun bouts.<\/p>\n<p>After <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/ufc-272-results-bryce-mitchell-defeats-edson-barboza-highlights\/\">going 2-3<\/a> since making the move down to flyweight, Barboza was ready to try and get back to winning ways when it was announced that he&#8217;d be battling the aforementioned Topuria.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that contest will no longer be taking place on October 29 as was previously announced.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Edson Barboza injured, out of UFC Vegas 63 fight with Ilia Topuria <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4gCsOm2JsJ\">https:\/\/t.co\/4gCsOm2JsJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Guilherme Cruz (@guicruzzz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/guicruzzz\/status\/1574935922642194433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The report indicates that Barboza has already undergone surgery to address the issue in question, but as of this writing, it hasn&#8217;t been confirmed whether or not Topuria will be remaining on the card with a new opponent. With a month left to go before fight night, though, you&#8217;d think he&#8217;ll be feeling optimistic.<\/p>\n<p>Topuria is 12-0 since turning pro and in his last two outings, he put on a real show to knock out Ryan Hall and Jai Herbert.<\/p>\n<p>Given the state of the 145-pound division, we imagine there&#8217;s every chance these two could collide at some point down the road &#8211; especially given the UFC&#8217;s tendency to pit veterans against rising stars.<\/p>\n<p>For now, however, fans will have to wonder what could&#8217;ve been as Barboza begins his road to recovery.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think is going to be next for Edson Barboza upon his return?
