All the necessary pieces appear to be in place for Fabian Edwards to make some serios waves in the Bellator MMA middleweight division.

“The Assassin” will toe the line against SBG Ireland’s Charlie Ward in the Bellator 287 co-main event on Saturday at Allianz Cloud Arena in Milan, Italy. Edwards—the younger brother of current Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight titleholder Leon Edwards—has rattled off five victories in seven appearances since he joined the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2019. He last competed at Bellator 281, where he cut down Lyoto Machida with an elbow strike and follow-up punches in the first round of their May 13 encounter. Ward, meanwhile, steps into the cage on a three-fight winning streak. He has compiled a 7-1 record in Bellator.

As Edwards and Ward inch closer to their forthcoming battle at 185 pounds, a look at some of the numbers that have accompanied them to this point:

29: Years of age for Edwards, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on March 24, 1993.
