All the necessary pieces appear to be in place for Fabian Edwards to make some serios waves in the Bellator MMA middleweight division.
“The Assassin” will toe the line against SBG Ireland’s Charlie Ward in the Bellator 287 co-main event on Saturday at Allianz Cloud Arena in Milan, Italy. Edwards—the younger brother of current Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight titleholder Leon Edwards—has rattled off five victories in seven appearances since he joined the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2019. He last competed at Bellator 281, where he cut down Lyoto Machida with an elbow strike and follow-up punches in the first round of their May 13 encounter.
