On a show dedicated to unearthing hidden gems, one lightweight prospect played his role to a tee.
While the latest episode of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series was headlined by women’s flyweight striker Antonina Shevchenko (the sister of UFC star Valentina Shevchenko), it was the lesser known Te Edwards who stole the show.
In the co-main event, Edwards fought Austin Tweedy, an opponent with almost twice as many fights as him, and he wasted no time in making a strong first impression on UFC president Dana White, and matchmakers Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby.
