UFC Fight Night 289 video: Christian Edwards buries Rodolfo Bellato
Christian Edwards got his first UFC win with a knockout that will go onto his permanent highlight reel.
Christian Edwards, a 9-6 MMA and 1-1 UFC fighter, secured his first UFC victory against Rodolfo Bellato in a back-and-forth light heavyweight bout at UFC Fight Night 289. Initially tied up, Edwards' cornermen from Jackson-Wink MMA advised him to take the offensive in the third round. He obliged, delivering a powerful left hand that flipped Bellato to the ground.
Following a few more punches, referee Blake Grice stopped the action at 1:47 of the final round, marking a triumphant finish for Edwards, who had previously lost a split decision to Modestas Bukauskas earlier this year.
