Going into the trilogy, Edwards will likely have to fight the fight of his life to stave off the takedown. Usman is coming to wrestle and that’s what really hurt Edwards in the first two fights. The inability to stay out of the clinch and from the edge of the fence cost Edwards many rounds. Doing what he’s trained to do for some years now is at its highest critical point.
If Usman is going to let Edwards sit on his back and steal easy rounds, Edwards will let him. However, the later in the fight it happens, and the more frequent it happens, the takedown defense will become stiffer and the attempts to escape and reverse will become more aggressive. Edwards needs the takedowns in the first three rounds, although this doesn’t exclude late takedowns to steal the fight.
