First knockout loss of long career Edwards lost to Carlos Prates via KO (punches) at 1:28 of Round 2 at UFC 322 on Saturday in New York City.
Impact That is the first knockout loss of Leon's career in his 29th professional bout. It's a particularly frustrating result considering he won Round 1 on all three scorecards. The first frame wasn't pretty by any means, but Leon picked up two takedowns and 3:00 of control time and did a nice job of not standing in front of Prates. Once Carlos turned up the heat in Round 2 and Edwards' footwork evaporated, Leon was toast. The Brit, who turned 34 years of age in August, has lost three straight and each end result has been uglier than the one prior. Edwards is done as far as impacting the top of the rankings at 170 pounds.
