Christian Edwards abandoned chess, made it ugly for first UFC win
Eight-fight Bellator veteran Christian Edwards got his first UFC win Saturday after listening to his coaches before the third round.
Christian Edwards, a former Bellator fighter, made his UFC debut with a knockout win against Rodolfo Bellato at UFC Fight Night 289. The fight took place on the prelims at the Meta APEX. Edwards, who had eight fights in Bellator before his UFC debut, had never experienced a back-and-forth fight like this one. In his post-fight interview, Edwards admitted he was stunned and quickly regained his composure.
He explained that he stopped trying to outsmart Bellato and instead chose to come forward and make the match "ugly" in a "beautiful way." Edwards is open to fighting in any arena in Las Vegas in January or December, expressing a preference for a big crowd.
