Yves Edwards, on “Cheap Seats,” discussing how his experience has helped him deal with opponent switches ahead of his Dec. 8 bout against Jeremy Stephens at UFC on Fox 5:

“I definitely think experience helps a lot and the fact that I’m from an era when I’ve been to shows before there were commissions. Going to shows back in those days, I used to corner my friend and take my gear with me in case someone didn’t have an opponent and I would get a chance to fight. I think that stayed with me in that I’m always ready, always wanting to fight and always ready to fight. So I’m not too worried about that as far as opponents getting switched up on me in the last couple of weeks. Fortunately it was a guy that was I scheduled to fight before. I’ve done a whole training camp for him. I’ve done a lot of video and strategy and tape and study on Jeremy. That cream just rises back to the top, and I’m ready to go. It’s one of those things that it could have been really bad, but the situation actually works out perfectly.”

Jordan Breen and Greg Savage returned to the Sherdog Radio Network on Tuesday for another edition of "Cheap Seats." Joining them was UFC lightweight Yves Edwards.

The American Top Team product joined "Cheap Seats" today to talk about the fight that is finally going to happen on Dec. 8 in Seattle. Edwards breaks down the match up in detail, and explains where he thinks he will have clear advantages over his opponent.

Yves Edwards, on “Cheap Seats,” discussing earlier days in MMA:

“I really, really miss the days when you had no idea who it was that you were fighting. You just got a name and you just trained with your guys and then you went and you fought. I’ve been in arenas and I’ve talked to people that I was going to fight and they didn’t know they were talking to me. They were like, ‘Yeah, I’m fighting this guy. His name is Yves Edwards. You know him?’ I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I know that guy,’ but I’d never tell them it was me and then we’d get in the ring and they’d be surprised. It would kind of throw guys off, I think. I would talk badly about myself ... and how bad I sucked, but then it’s time to fight.”

The Sherdog Radio Network was live Tuesday with new episodes of “Cheap Seats” and “It’s Time! with Bruce Buffer.”
