Scouting Report: Fabian Edwards Bellator296 BellatorParis via LevPisarsky
Takedown Defense:
Quite good at defending shots in space and angles off well, even repeatedly stuffed Vanderford. However, he remains much more vulnerable in the clinch, where Vanderford took him down repeatedly with a double-leg and did so without much resistance.Submissions: Executed a few submissions early in his career, but they likely would not work at his current level. His back takes are loose at times, and opponents can easily reverse into him.Controls the biceps and moves his head away from potential ground-and-pound well. However, his lone submission threat at this level was using a rubber guard and then going for an omoplata against van Steenis, which resulted in his getting slammed for his efforts.
Edwards has a relative weakness on the ground, though not a huge one. He has proven quite good at defending takedowns from a shot in space but is far more vulnerable to them in the clinch. Once on the ground, he defends against ground-and-pound well but offers little submission threat off his back. He can get up well enough through either posting up, wall walking or hip escaping, but it takes valuable time and can cost him rounds.
