Edson Barboza vs Dan Ige in the works for UFC Fight Night 176
According to a report from Combate, Edson Barboza is reportedly set for his return to the Octagon for the first time since his controversial loss to Paul Felder in the co-main event of UFC 242.
Upon his return, Barboza is expected to face Dan Ige in a featherweight bout, as the former recently announced that he would be competing in the UFC's 145-pound division in the first quarter of 2020.
Barboza was initially set to face Josh Emmett in a featherweight bout UFC Fight Night 174 but by the looks of it, that fight has been scrapped by Dana White's promotion.
