Barboza vs Quarantillo Fighter History

The odds are stacked against Barboza ahead of this Saturday night. Quarantillo is currently the favorite on each of the four highlighted sportsbooks, available anywhere between -175 and -190. The 34-year-old BJJ expert has an average of -181 odds across the sources, carrying an implied win probability of 64.4%.

The odds shouldn’t be surprising considering Barboza’s recent struggles. The former Ring of Combat Lightweight Champion is just 3-7 in his last 10 fights and has lost five of his most recent seven.

After struggling in the lightweight division, Barboza made the move to the featherweight side in May 2020, falling to Dan Ige by split decision. While he won his next two fights, things have fallen off since then.

Barboza suffered a third-round TKO loss to Giga Chikadze in the main event of UFC Vegas 35. Unfortunately, he couldn’t rebound from that loss when he face Bryce Mitchell about six months later, falling by unanimous decision in the three-round fight.
