PhotoCred: Sherdog<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAfter Edwards’ most recent victory over Peter Sobotta at UFC London, the twenty-six-year-old\u00a0Brit called out Darren Till for the main event in the UFC’s first stop to Liverpool. While he may not be getting Till in Liverpool, he is still getting a big fight like he was asking for.<\/p>\n
Edwards has quietly been building up a rather impressive streak of victories in the UFC’s talent-stacked welterweight division. Since losing to a fellow divisional dark horse, Kamaru Usman in 2015, “Rocky” has won five in a row and excluding Sobotta, that includes the likes of Albert Tumenov, Bryan Barberena, and Vicente Luque.<\/p>\n
For the man known as “Cowboy”, Donald Cerrone just snapped the first losing streak of his career when he knocked out Yancy Medeiros in February.<\/p>\n
Despite his continual claims of wanting to go back down to his original home of 155-pounds, that is clearly not going to be the case and who knows if it ever will be at this point.<\/p>\n
Cerrone holds a 5-3 record when competing at welterweight and all five of those victories have come via finish(four KO\/TKOs, one submission).<\/p>\n
Who gets the W on June 23rd?<\/p>\n
