UFC lightweight striking sensation, Edson Barboza has been speaking about how he’s preparing for his UFC 134 clash with “Ultimate Fighter” season nine winner, Ross Pearson on August 27th in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Speaking via TheGarv.com, Barboza said:
“I know that Ross Pearson is a good opponent and I’m working very hard for that fight. My camp is going great, I have no injuries, and I’m focused on my game and what I will do.”
“I’m training striking with coach Ouali and my partners Luis Cane and Marlon Moraes. I’ve been training jiu-jitsu and grappling with big names like Eduardo Guedes, Rafael Chaves, Pablo Popovitch, Roberto Cyborg {Abreu) and Vagner “Ceara” Rocha, and also I’m training wrestling at Imperial Gym. I’m doing my strength and conditioning with Joe Mullings. So I’m working all of MMA points for that fight because I want to be able to work standing up and on the ground in this fight.”
Barboza has made an exciting start to his UFC career, defeating Mike Lullo and Anthony Njokuani in impressive fashion. His fight with Njokuani earned him a share of the “Fight of the Night” bonus
