UFC, Strikeforce and EliteXC veteran Yves Edwards stopped Kyle Jensen on first-round strikes in the Raging Wolf 5 “Mayhem in the Mist” main event on Saturday at the Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel in Niagara Falls, N.Y. The end came 2:44 into round one.
The 33-year-old Edwards has posted back-to-back victories, both of them finishes after his unanimous decision loss to Duane Ludwig under the Strikeforce umbrella 13 months ago. Based at American Top Team, he stonewalled Jensen’s takedown attempts, battered him with punches to the head and eventually stopped the World Extreme Cagefighting castoff, who entered the match unbeaten in 10 outings. Edwards has now recorded 29 of his 36 career wins by knockout, technical knockout or submission.
