If you had closed the book on Edson Barboza being a top contender in the UFC’s lightweight division prior to UFC Milwaukee, well, you might need to re-open it…

Barboza took on surging 155’er Dan Hooker at UFC Milwaukee last night, and he proceeded to put away the ridiculously tough fighter in the third round. It was a massive, massive win for Barboza, not only because of the run Hooker’s been on, but because the Brazilian was coming off consecutive losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov and Kevin Lee.

After the thrilling win, Barboza spoke with UFC cameras backstage, which you can check out below.
