Fabian Edwards gets another takedown towards the end of the round, which he probably edged again, despite a point not being deducted from Gegard Mousasi.

Fabian Edwards' corner are absolutely furious with the knee to their fighter while he was down.

You cannot knee a fighter to the head when he is grounded and replays show Gegard Mousasi's knee did connect with Edwards' head.

Edwards' corner want a point deducted.

Gegard Mousasi flips Fabian Edwards onto his back right next to the fence, that's a bad position for the Briton. But a knee from Mousasi catches Edwards in the face and he's given the chance to take another breather.

Fabian Edwards' corner are eager for him to mix up his attacks, encouraging him to "not get into a boxing match" with Gegard Mousasi.

Edwards is responding to his corner's advice, feinting and trying to create angles for his punches and leg kicks at their request.

Fabian Edwards does indeed take the fight to Gegard Mousasi with a takedown. Not sure this is taking much toll on Mousasi though.

'Sit heavy!' is the shout from Edwards' corner, which of course includes UFC champion Leon Edwards.

I scored that round for Fabian Edwards. When they landed, he landed the cleaner shots.

Compared to the last fight, that first round was a much more measured affair which was developing into a bit of a chess match. Fabian Edwards looked slightly more assertive. Will he up the pace now?

Gegard Mousasi tries to land a series of different kicks but without much joy as Fabian Edwards is alert to the danger. He looks comfortable with the range.

It's still fairly quiet at the Accor Arena after Mansour Barnaoui's defeat, and it's a tentative start to the main event before Fabian Edwards is given time to recover after a kick straight to his nether regions.

Fabian Edwards on tonight's opponent Gegard Mousasi: "His main strength is he makes it uncomfortable for people. He walks forward, he's in your face, he's constantly in that range where you can't switch off.

"He's an alright all-round fighter. He's flat-footed, comes forward and tries to put you into boxing range and mix it up, but I don't see him as the best technically.

"I either see me catching him clean and a TKO finish or I see me out-wrestling, out-striking, clinching when I want, and then leaving Paris with my hand raised."

“I don’t know very much about Edwards. All I know is I am going to crush his dreams if he wins tonight.”

"Mousasi has never lost back-to-back fights. That is the mark of a true champion. I believe he will win tonight.”

Fabian Edwards will be cornered by older brother and UFC welterweight champion, Leon, tonight.

The pair share a similar story, moving over to Birmingham from Jamaica as kids before tragically losing their father who was murdered in a shooting in London.

That led the brothers down a troubled path, with both getting involved with gang crime in Birmingham, before finding their way out through MMA.

Johnny Eblen
Bellator middleweight champion

“Mousasi’s a veteran of the sport. He knows how to fight. He’s had a lot of fights and he’s a skilled guy. I kind of just demolished him. I think people show a little bit too much respect and they go in gun shy. He needs to be a mixed martial artist tonight against Edwards, he can’t just be a kickboxer.”

As well as having the greater experience, Gegard Mousasi is Bellator's top-ranked middleweight after current world champion Johnny Eblen, with Fabian Edwards next best.

Mousasi is also a two-time middleweight champion and is currently 10th on Bellator's pound-for-pound rankings.

Gegard Mousasi is vastly more experienced than Fabian Edwards having had his first professional MMA fight in 2003.

The 37-year-old has fought on a host of different promotions, including UFC, before joining Bellator in 2017. He racked up 50 fights before Edwards' first in 2017, with tonight his 60th.

Edwards, 30, has had 13 fights so far, most of them with Bellator.

Fabian Edwards last fought in October, beating Ireland's Charlie Ward by unanimous decision at Bellator 287 in Milan.

Edwards was the better striker and grappler throughout the fight, landing some clean shots and controlling a lot of the action on the ground.

You can watch highlights of that bout - and a lot of verbal jousting between the pair - below.

Now then, it's time for the main event, and Fabian Edwards has compared Gegard Mousasi to former opponent Lyoto Machida, in terms of the pair's legacy in the sport.

Both Machida and Mousasi are former world champions who have fought the best across multiple promotions.

But with Machida at 44 and Mousasi aged 37, the pair are at the tail-end of their careers, and Edwards is predicting another victory for himself tonight.

Edwards knocked Brazilian Machida out in London last May and you can watch his reaction to the win below.

Brent Primus: “I think he has gills in his neck or something. He is one tough son of a gun. Hats off to Mansour, you are so tough. Usually I would have submitted those guys, hats off to him.

“He pushed me. I did not stop the whole time. I’m nothing without my team. They push me so much. I would not be able to push through those last couple of rounds without them.”

That was far from the result the Paris fans wanted as Brent Primus edged out home favourite Mansour Barnaoui by decision.

The volume has been turned right down inside the Accor Arena.

Full credit to American Primus - he looked out on his feet in round three but found a second wind to out-grapple Barnaoui in the latter rounds.

Next up for Primus is current champion Usman Nurmagomedov in the Lightweight Grand Prix semi-finals.
