Lightweight Veterans to meet at UFC on FOX 8
by Tommy Strong @Strong_tea
Two lightweight veterans Yves Edwards & Spencer Fisher will face off in the octagon at UFC on Fox 8, which is to take place at Key Arena in Seattle Washington on June 27th 2013.
Edwards (42-19-1) will be looking to bounce back after a tight split decision loss to Isaac Vallie-Flagg at UFC 156. Before that he won knockout of the night at UFC On FOX 5 in December, when he knocked out Jeremy Stephens within 2 minutes. If the form of his previous 6 fights are anything to go by then he should win this fight. He is 3-3 in his last 6 fights with a win being followed by a loss every time. He will be hoping that continues with a win over Fisher.
His opponent Fisher (24-9) has lost his last 3 fights and has only won one 1 fight in his last 6, he really has his back up against the wall to save his UFC career. By the time the fight comes around it would've been a year since Fisher last fought, in which was a 'fight of the night' defeat to Sam Stout.
Another defeat for Fisher would surely see the curtain brought down on his MMA career, if not his MMA career I imagine it will for his UFC career.
