Fabian Edwards never thought his date with fellow highly touted English middleweight Mike Shipman would ever come to fruition. Yet, at Bellator Dublin’s media day, the promotion announced that the middleweight duo will clash at November Bellator London.
“I never thought this fight was going to happen,” Edwards told MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast. “It was meant to happen two years ago and it never happened then. I was surprised, with him coming off a loss as well—especially that kind of loss—that he stepped up to the plate. Fair play to him for stepping up, but he’s going to get finished again.
