Edwards vs Cerrone: Who Wins?

[ArtemV]

I think Edwards will be a top 10 fighters for a few years, but I really don't see how he has much for Cerrone.

Yes, he has nice striking, but isn't very overwhelming and doesn't have a lot of power (unless you're Seth Baczynski) and doesn't have very good grappling (he beat my boy, Tumenov. Who has... questionable grappling skills).

He looked alright against Sobotta, he landed some nice strikes (as did Sobotta) and couldn't really do anything until Sobotta was very tired, even on the feet - where he was supposed to have a big advantage - he couldn't really make Sobotta be discouraged - or even hurt him.

I know Cerrone has aged, and although he lost to Till pretty badly, but I believe that was due to Till's huge size advantage and overwhelming game-plan and he made Cerrone hesitate and got put out for it. I don't think Edwards can do that.

I don't know who will be favorite/underdog in this fight; however, I think it may be good to bet on Cerrone?

Cerrone has lost a step or two... but still exciting. Win or Lose the guy has heart. Think he still has some left to get the W.

I’m thinking Cowboy gets it done in the second round. Submission after a knockdown.

Edwards has taken a weird turn in being more wrestling based with his attack now. Think he takes a decision over Cerrone, but it won’t be anything spectacular.

I thought it looked bad for Leon at the presser when they were all friendly facing off..... then he got on the mic and instantly said he would take Cowboy out

friendly Cowboy is unstoppable, not so much when they start shit talking him

The UFC haven't made the fight for Cowboy to win.
Cerrone will break the UFC most wins record but not in this fight.
He's relegated to being a top 10 gatekeeper now.
