Due to the Brazilian MMA legend suffering a knee injury ahead of the fight, the bout has now been pulled from the UFC Fight Night card. Topuria is yet to have a fight re-booked on the UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs. Allen card, but the German-born fighter is still healthy. The rising star could still compete during the event. Barboza is currently on a two-fight losing streak in the UFC after losing back-to-back bouts against Bryce Mitchell and Giga Chikadze. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Edson Barboza may have had a tough challenge against Ilia Topuria, with the 25-year-old currently unbeaten during his professional MMA career. 'El Matador' has competed four-times in the UFC, beating the likes of Youssef Zalal, Damon Jackson, Ryan Hall and Jai Herbert. Topuria has also won three out of his four fights via stoppage, so Barboza would have had to be careful during every moment of their potential bout. The Brazilian's latest win in the UFC came back in 2021 when facing Shane Burgos at UFC 262: Oliveira vs. Chandler. It's currently unknown how long Barboza will be sidelined for, but the MMA legend will be keen to end his rough recent run as soon as possible.
