The Matchup: Another pair of entrants from Season 13 of the reality series pits Harvison against Edwards, the Randy Couture lookalike. This match probably sees the loser pink-slipped, given the UFC’s crowded roster.

Harvison, who lost to eventual finalist Ramsey Nijem in the quarter-finals, has never seen the second round in seven professional outings. That includes his 2008 submission over fellow “The Ultimate Fighter” alum Blake Bowman.

Edwards, meanwhile, succumbed to an upkick knockout against finalist Tony Ferguson in the preliminary round on Season 13. He replaced Keon Caldwell, who left the show before ever setting foot inside the cage. Officially, Edwards has finished all six of his opponents, the last five of them by submission.
