Prime Yves Edwards in today's 145 division?

[TheItalianStallion]

Feel like Edwards fought at the wrong time era of MMA. He was simply to small for 155 and 170 but has the skillset to compete with anyone on any given night. He's the 1st man to KO Jeremy Stephens who is top 10 worthy and that was out if his prime. Stylistically I think he could do well against anyone in the division, with Emmett and Kattar fights being bangers. Him vs KZ would have been an all out war. What are your thoughts?

Thugjitsu is an underrated style. Yves would've done well in today's era.

Yves Edwards is a BEAST. He was so technical and violent at the same time. Truly the Thugjitsu Master. The last couple losses he had hurt to watch as a fan but man he had an awesome career.

I've always loved Yves; dude was so fun to watch. I've honestly never thought about him at FW but that could have been really interesting.

Was it Poirier who was announced as a thugjitsu fighter on the last card? I swear someone was.

Skilled gatekeeper, not contender with his prime skillset.

I actually feel like he won that fight against Tony Ferguson

It was Poirier.
