Fabian Edwards, the brother of former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards, superior to the PFL World Event finals on Friday evening with a dominant resolution win over Josh Silveira.
After a number of fiery exchanges on the ft, Silveira opted to take issues to the canvas, although Edwards did a wonderful job of defending, almost catching the Brazilian in a reverse triangle earlier than utilizing a kimura as a method of escape.
That pattern continued within the second with Silveira capturing in for a single-leg after a couple of minute of slinging leather-based with the Brit. Edwards fought his approach again up and separated, but it surely was only a matter of time earlier than Silveira would shut the gap and try and stifle Edwards’ offense.
Whereas within the clinch, Edwards landed a knee up the center that prompted Silveira to take a knee close to the fence. Edwards rapidly jumped on his neck, fishing for a rear-naked choke with loads of time left within the second stanza. Silveira had simply sufficient within the tank to defend towards Edwards’ submission makes an attempt and work his approach again up. As soon as there, Silveira seemed to be operating on empty as ‘The Murderer’ poured it on within the remaining seconds of the spherical.
Spherical three was all Edwards as Silveira merely didn’t have sufficient within the tank to place up a lot of a struggle. Edwards closed the struggle, raining down elbows from mount as Silveira desperately defended to mitigate the injury and make it to the ultimate bell.
