Easy win for Barboza, the only question is if he gets a stoppage or not. Most likely he will.

The big question is how will Barboza react to his first loss. The fight with Varner he was supposed to just run through him so we will see how he comes back from a loss.

Prediction: Barboza  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

I think a fight with the guy who recently beat Salas (Tim Means) could be interesting. Means seems to have some power, and for all we know he could give Barboza a damn good fight.

I know one of them just lost and one just won, but whatever. It could be interesting.

I think we'll see an even better Edson Barboza... I feel bad for Salas.

Salas is kind of getting thrown to the wolves a bit against Barboza I think.

I know they want to get Barboza back on track but this is ridiculous. They could at least give him someone near the top 20. All Salas has is wrestling and if he was KTFO by Means like that Barboza should maul him.

Prediction: Barboza  |  KO/TKO  |  Round 1

He needs to get back on the win train after being finished by Varner, and he isn't exactly facing a great opponent. I'm not surprised that people's picks are so in favour of him.

Hopefully Barboza is training nothing by takedown defense.
