Yves Edwards Talks Gonzalez, EliteXC - 08 Nov 2007 11:46:26pm
2007-11-09 00:46:00 By Keith Mills The past two years have been rough on Yves Edwards. In the summer of 2005 Yves was on top of the world, beating Hermes Franca for a second time and getting an invitation to Pride?s Bushido Grand Prix while riding a seven-win streak. Problems developed with first a loss to Joachim Hansen in the first round of the tournament followed by an upset loss to Mark Hominick and seemingly ?final straw? loss to Joe Stevenson in UFC. Even BodogFIGHT resulted in two losses for the fighter at one point thought of as the best in the world. Now Yves looks to turn that around at ElteXC, largely due to his change in training at ATT where previous opponents Aaron Riley, Jorge Masvidal, and Mike Brown all train. This weekend fans get to see the initial results of that change as Yves faces Nick Gonzalez. KM: How do you feel about your debut in EliteXC this weekend? YE: I feel good about it. They have a good show, they have a lot of good fighters on the show like Nick Diaz and Jake Sh...

Yves Edwards and Antonio Silva at Elite XC "Renegade" - 30 Oct 2007 01:44:1
2007-10-30 02:44:00 By Brian Knapp Yves Edwards and Antonio Silva will compete at EliteXC ?Renegade? Saturday, Nov. 10 at the America Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, sources close to the American Top Team have confirmed. Edwards (29-13-1) will meet Moses Baca (2-2); Silva (8-1), meanwhile, will collide with Jonathan Wiezorek (11-1). Known for his lanky build and savvy striking game, Edwards put together a seven-fight win streak in 2004, which included a split decision win over Hermes Franca at UFC 47 and a highlight reel head kick knockout of Josh Thomson at UFC 49. The 31-year-old hit a speed bump in 2005, though, and has lost three in a row and five out of six. Edwards last competed in July when he lost to Jorge Masvidal by knockout under the Bodog Fight banner. The two are now teammates at ATT. Silva, meanwhile, underwent surgery in June to remove a tumor from his cranial region. Nicknamed ?Bigfoot? for his 6-foot-4, near 300-pound frame, Silva was originally slated to face Wiezorek at K... |
