With Mike Shipman leaving for Bellator and vacating the middleweight title, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before BAMMA would announce that blue-chip prospect Fabian Edwards would compete for the strap.
There was a lot of talk about his clash with SBG’s Claudio Conti being contested for the vacant title this Saturday night in Dublin at BAMMA 35. Edwards’ notorious teammate and reality television star, Aaron Chalmers, even campaigned for upping the stakes of the showdown on Twitter.
Some might consider Edwards’ 4-0 record slightly light to garner a championship date.
