Paddy "The Hooligan" Hoolahan's opinion on Bellator/BAMMA prospect Fabian Edwards

[GoldenAzazel]

Fabian "The Assassin" Edwards is an undefeated MW who is the younger brother of UFC WW Leon Edwards, and had a sweet 1st round flying Knee KO at Bellator 179. Here's Paddy's take on him and his fight coming up next weekend.



What do you guys think of his take? Could he be the next big thing?

Yes. I've seen that Bellator fight a couple of times. Dude shows a ton of potential. His straight left and left body kick were solid in that fight. That flying knee was beautiful. I feel that he could make it far in mma, if he shows a solid ground game. Bellator needs to scoop this guy up to an exclusive deal.

Anyway to watch bamma from the states, legally is preferred.


Also, here is the fight for those who haven't seen it:

I'm not too sure on his ground game but I know his brother has a few submission wins under his belt (one being over Albert Tumenov) and that Leon also trains at American Top Team. If Fabian is planning on heading out there too then I'd love to see what they could do with him.
