Edson Barboza was able to put on a beating to Dan Hooker in a fight that should’ve been stopped earlier.
The two fighters met in a lightweight bout at the UFC on FOX 31 event on Saturday night from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After a great back and forth exchange of strikes, Barboza almost stopped him by knockout in the second round but Hooker showed off his toughness until being stopped by continuous body strikes in the third round.
