UFC adds exciting featherweight clash Edson Barboza vs. Billy Quarantillo to April 15 event

The upcoming UFC Fight Night event on April 15 now has its co-main event.

A pair of exciting featherweights will take the cage in the co-feature as Edson Barboza is set to take on Billy Quarantillo. The event does not yet have a confirmed venue or location, although it is not expected to take place at the UFC Apex.

MMA Junkie confirmed the matchup with multiple sources following an announcement by Quarantillo on OnlyFans Wednesday.

Barboza (22-11 MMA, 16-11 UFC) will look to get back on the winning track after dropping two consecutive bouts. Prior to his recent skid, the 36-year-old striker finished Shane Burgos at UFC 262 after taking a unanimous decision over Makwan Amirkhani at UFC Fight Night 179.

Quarantillo (17-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC), a Dana White’s Contender Series veteran, will aim to make it back-to-back wins against tough featherweight competition. In December at UFC 282, Quarantillo, 34, finished Alexander Hernandez in the second round to get back in the win column.

With the addition, the current April 15 lineup includes:

  • Edson Barboza vs. Billy Quarantillo
  • Dustin Jacoby vs. Azamat Murzakanov
  • Bruna Brasil vs. Deinse Gomes
  • Martin Buday vs. Jake Collier
