Veteran lightweight Yves Edwards has been around the block enough to
know that a UFC contract isn’t an achievement in itself. It’s what you
do when you’re inside the octagon that counts.

Edwards fights John Gunderson at UFC Fight Night 22 on Sept. 15 in Austin, Texas. Don’t get him

about how he’s going to take over the 155-pound division.

“I’ve only tied my shoes,” Edwards recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “I haven’t even left the house yet.”
