Edson Barboza welcomes newborn daughter Victoria hours after KO loss at UFC Philadelphia

Edson Barboza suffered a knockout loss Saturday, but we’re going to guess he isn’t stressing too much over it at the moment.

Just hours after Barboza’s UFC on ESPN 2 meeting with Justin Gaethje, which took place at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn snapped a picture of the lightweight on his way to go meet his wife, Bruna, who was in labor.

Thankfully, it seems everything went well. On Sunday, Barboza posted a picture with Bruna and their newborn daughter, Victoria.

In a picture posted to Bruna’s Instagram page, a smiling Edson can be seen holding Victoria next to their four-year-old son, Noah.

This past December, after a TKO win over Daniel Hooker, Barboza explained that Bruna hadn’t been able to make it to the fight because she was pregnant. Barboza also playfully lamented the fact that Noah had so far expressed little interest in the striking arts and instead had chosen to focus his athletic energy into jiu-jitsu.

But hey, who knows, maybe Victoria will end up being the one to carry on the Barboza family’s muay Thai tradition.

Barboza (20-7 MMA, 14-7 UFC) met Gaethje (20-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in the ESPN-televised main event of Saturday’s card. Barboza was stopped at the 2:30 mark with a single right hand in what was Gaethje’s second consecutive first-round stoppage in the UFC.

Igor Severino’s life isn’t the same as it was one week ago. As of now, the 20-year-old ex-UFC fighter doesn’t know if it’ll ever be even similar after he bit opponent Andre Lima during their March 23 fight at UFC on ESPN 53 in Las Vegas. The highly unusual...
