Barboza vs Lee bout headlines AC Event

 

For the first time since 2014, the UFC will be bringing the best mixed martial artists in the world to Atlantic City, and in the main event at Boardwalk Hall on April 21, two of the top lightweights in the world square off, as Muay Thai wrecking machine Edson Barboza attempts to add another clip to his highlight reel when he meets "The Motown Phenom," Kevin Lee.

A ferocious striker with a string of Fight of the Night awards to his name, the No. 4-ranked Barboza has won three of his last four, defeating Beneil Dariush, Gilbert Melendez and Anthony Pettis. In the No. 7-ranked Lee, Barboza will face a dynamic star on the rise who is 5-1 in his last six, a run that includes victories over Jake Matthews, Francisco Trinaldo and Michael Chiesa.

Also made official for the UFC's return to Atlantic City is a lightweight bout pitting New Jersey's own Jim Miller against Dan Hooker.
