Top 15-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight Leon Edwards engaged in a five-round war against UFC legend Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone at UFC Fight Night 132, in Kallang, Singapore.
Edwards went to earn a victory by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-47) over the veteran. “Rocky” bloodied Cerrone early in the first round with a knee to the head, which appeared to slow him down in the subsequent rounds. Edwards seemed faster and rangier than "Cowboy" for most of the fight.
Coming into the fight, Edwards had made some comments that generated bad blood between both fighters, when he called Cerrone an "old school" fighter.
