Edwards vs. Chimaev: Fight by Fight Breakdown
Round 1: **Feeling Each Other Out**
The first round will be critical for both fighters. Edwards, a seasoned veteran with a record of 19-3, will be looking to exploit Chimaev’s relative lack of UFC experience (10-0). Expect Edwards to use his range and MMA experience to test Chimaev’s striking and defense.
“Edwards has the potential to expose Chimaev’s lack of experience in the UFC octagon. He’s crafty and knows how to control the pace,” says BJPenn.com‘s analysts.
Round 2: **Ramping Up the Intensity**
With the initial cautious approach out of the way, expect both fighters to let loose in round two. Chimaev, known for his aggressive, pressure-based fighting style, will likely pour on the pressure, seeking to overwhelm Edwards with his relentless pace.
However, Edwards won’t be pushed around easily. His solid defensive skills and clinch work will serve him well against Chimaev’s grappling-heavy approach.
Della Maddalena’s Plan of Attack
In the co-main event, **Jack Della Maddalena** takes on **Li ‘The Leech’ Jingliang**. In an exclusive interview with BJPenn.com, Della Maddalena revealed his strategy: “I’m gonna go in there, put pressure on him, and make him uncomfortable. I want to force him to fight my fight, not his.”
Watch Out: Della Maddalena’s Injury Concerns
While Della Maddalena is riding high on a five-fight win streak, his injury history is a cause for concern. EssentiallySports recently reported that Della Maddalena will need surgery following UFC 315, raising questions about his long-term availability.
