UFC 242 breakdown: How will the Edson Barboza-Paul Felder rematch go?

The UFC 242 co-feature bout between Edson Barboza and Paul Felder should be an entertaining affair.

How do we know this? Well, for one thing, both lightweights are known for exciting fights. But they’ve also already fought before and produced a “Fight of the Night,” as Barboza took a unanimous decision in 2015 at UFC on FOX 16 in Chicago.

So what’s changed for these two over the past four years? Our own Dan Tom weighs in on what sort of adjustments the fighters will have to make in order to emerge victorious.

UFC 242 takes place Saturday at The Arena at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.

You can watch the fight breakdown in the video above.
