If usman can't takedown/keep Edwards down I can see edwards picking apart usman on the feet but if usman is having success with his grappling then he'll have Edwards worried about the takedown & that will create openings for usman to ko edwards. Usman ko'd masvidal with the same shot that Diaz rocked edwards with. I feel like it'll end up being a split decision & wrong guy will end up getting his hand raised.

Tyson Pedro must have something on the ufc.

Yep he’s the definition of a lock. There is no way he loses this fight whatsoever. No idea how he convinced the ufc to give him the worst fighters on the roster. Maybe they’re repaying him for rushing him too fast earlier in his career

Not sure that brown belt means much lol. His only move is a standing kimura. Pretty sure Pedro is a black belt in BJJ and traditional JJ

Whoa thats funny not seen anyone talk about Jiujitsu in ages, it is fairly useless in sport more for self defense or ******* people up not for quick subs.
Unless your calling GI BJJ traditional not Japanese JJ the ancient art taught to samurai.
2004-5 there was actually a guy using it in UFC, Japanese fellow didn't last long 170 class if memory serves.
The disciplines are based off different older forms "unsure of terminology" BJJ is Judo as I recall.
