It has never been confirmed, but it's widely rumored Edson Barboza translated from Portuguese to English is VIOLENCE.

The Brazilian striker is flat out nasty inside the cage and has built one of the most impressive highlight reels in UFC lightweight history. And Jr. added a game Beneil Dariush to that list of victims.

After fighting damn near perfect contest, the Kings MMA representative closed the distance a bit too wild on a takedown attempt and the Team Iron Army master of ruckus brought the violent sleeps with a perfectly timed flying knee. It was brutal. It was crisp. It was a spectacular knockout.
