Edson Barboza has been providing entertaining fights for mixed martial arts fans around the world for years. While he hasn’t always come away with the win, he’s the kind of fighter who knows how to get the best out of himself and his opponent – and he’s never been one to turn down a tough challenge.

In his last eight fights, Barboza is 4-4 with two knockouts in that time – and at 39 years old, he still seems to have the power needed to give anyone at both 145 and 155 pounds problems. This time he will remain at lightweight following his return to the division earlier this year where he will face the returning Jalin Turner who has opted out of retirement.
In one recent interviewmade it clear to Barboza that he wants to go out and fight another legendary war for the fans.
Barboza wants a war against Turner
“It’s going to be a war like always, you know? The kind of fight that people like, that I like. It’s going to be a war. He’s a great fighter, a great striker, it’s going to be an exciting fight for sure.”
“I think he knows what’s best for him [Turner returning from retirement]. If he wants to come back, good for him. For him, when he is ready to come back and do this, I always pray the best for him.”
“I’m still excited. I still enjoy every second of it. Every time I step in the Octagon, not just the Octagon, but going to the gym, dieting and trying to do everything right. I still enjoy it and I still love the sport.”
