Retired UFC lightweight Yves Edwards spent the better part of two decades as a professional fighter before his swan song in late 2014. Less than a year later, he’d moved to sunny California and was working as an analyst for FOX Sports. In the years since, he’s taken on extra duties doing pre and post fight breakdown segments, as well as live commentary for Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. He has received widespread praise and become a fan favorite due to his knowledgeable insight.
With a budding acting career, a steady flow of stunt work in Hollywood and a popular new podcast, Edwards keeps himself very busy outside his work as an analyst, never quite able to rest on his accomplishments for very long before adding a new one to his increasing repertoire.
