While the action at UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Edwards kicked off in the early morning hours in North America, the athletes stepping into the Octagon inside Singapore Indoor Stadium were wide awake and ready to put on a show.
Six of the nine bouts ended inside the distance and the three that went to the cards were entertaining affairs as well, rewarding all those who got up early to take in the festivities with an electric start to Saturday’s event.
