Out of UFC Seattle
Garcia (undisclosed) will no longer fight Edson Barboza in a featherweight bout at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Garcia's fight is no longer on the card after Barboza pulled out. He won't be getting a replacement, and so his fight has been pulled from the UFC Seattle lineup all together. Garcia will now look towards scheduling his next bout, one that could potentially push his winning streak in the promotion to six straight fights.

Next fight scheduled
Garcia will face Edson Barboza in a featherweight bout at a UFC event on February 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Garcia has won a whopping five straight in the UFC, and he'll look to push his streak to six against a much more experienced fighter in Barboza. The latter is coming off a loss as well, so he'll be extra hungry to get back on the winning side of the octagon while spoiling Garcia's winning streak.

Fifth straight knockout win
Garcia defeated Kyle Nelson via TKO (strikes) at 3:59 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was almost certainly go down as the most lucrative evening of Garcia's professional career. Not only will he walk out of the UFC Apex with his show and win bonuses, but he'll also exit with a chunk of Nelson's purse after the latter missed weight by 2.5 pounds on Friday morning. On top of that, he was the recipient of a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Steve had to fight through some hairy moments early on after he slipped and Nelson managed to take his back, but he eventually got free and destroyed Kyle with massive blows. If there's one thing we've seen with Garcia in the past two years, it's that you don't want to be on the wrong end of his power shots. The 32-year-old New Mexico native has now won five straight fights via knockout, including three in Round 1. He deserves a top-15 opponent his next time out.

Next fight now catchweight

ANALYSIS
Nelson missed the featherweight weight limit by 2.5 pounds, resulting in his fight against Garcia being at catchweight. Either way, he will look to continue his rampant streak of wins, all of them KO/TKOs.
