Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 –
Most of it will be in the standup, where the guys will be actively exchanging punches. In such a confrontation, the variety and speed of the fighters will play a key role. Charlie is no longer a young man, so it may be difficult for him to keep up with the swift actions of the Englishman. We should also note Fabian’s grappling ability, which makes him more versatile and allows him to finish the fight early.
The 29-year-old Englishman Fabian Edwards has been in the octagon professionally since 2016. He has the excellent striking technique and decent grappling. At Bellator 281, Edwards beat Brazilian light heavyweight Lyoto Machida (by knockout) and broke his two-fight losing streak. Fabian was weaker than Spaniard Costello Van Steenis and American Austin Vanderford (both by decision).
The 41-year-old Irishman Charlie Ward, has been competing at the professional level since 2014. He is a pronounced puncher who can knock out with one accurate hit. Charlie Ward has defeated Brazilian Alan Carlos (by decision), Estonian Andy Manzolo (by decision), American Kyle Kurtz (by technical knockout), and Englishman Justin Moore (by technical knockout). Charlie lost to Pietro Penini (by decision of judges) and Galore Bofando (by knockout).
