Edson Barboza has spent the last decade-plus competing in the UFC and that tenure won’t be coming to an end anytime soon.

That’s because the #14 ranked featherweight has re-signed with the promotion, although the details of said contract weren’t made public. 

“The UFC has opted to re-sign Barboza and keep him on the roster, and keep him active going forward,” Barboza’s manager in Alex Davis said to MMA Fighting. “Barboza and I believe he has what it takes to make a run for the belt and become champion, and that’s his focus.”

Barboza has won just two of his last seven in the UFC, with those wins coming over the duo of Dan Hooker and Makwan Amirkhani.
