UFC on FOX 20: Edson Barboza vs. Gilbert Melendez video highlights
July 23, 2016 11:14 pm ET
Edson Barboza's leg kicks were once again on display as one of the most dangerous weapons in the lightweight division, battering the base of Gilbert Melendez for three rounds.
The lightweight bout was the co-main event of today's UFC on FOX 20 event at United Center in Chicago. It aired on FOX following prelims on FOX and UFC Fight Pass.
Melendez (22-6 MMA, 1-4 UFC) refused to back down throughout the bout, limping forward and still having moments where he seemed to hurt Barboza (18-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) with heavy punches. In the end, Barboza's trademark kicking game was too much for the former Strikeforce champ and he took the fight by scores of 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28.
