Bobby Green’s ‘Fighting Style: Hood’ can only aspire to be Yves Edwards’ ‘Thug-Jitsu’. It’s the coolest martial arts that no one fully understands but has already earned every ounce of street cred imaginable based on name alone. From the duration of 2002-2005, everything that was said about Eddie Alvarez, Gilbert Melendez and Frankie Edgar was being said about Yves Edwards. From June 2002 to May 2005, Yves Edwards went on an 11-1 run (with six of those wins coming inside the octagon). In a perfect world, Yves Edwards would have been crowned the undisputed UFC lightweight champion — unfortunately the lightweight title didn’t exist back in those days.
Last night at the TUF 14 finale, Thug-Jitsu went up against El Cucuy-Fu and it produced a very controversial decision in favor of Tony Ferguson. A large majority of people believe Yves Edwards should have been awarded a 29-28 decision, and Ferguson addresses these concerns (and a few other things) in this interview we grabbed last night just after the post-fight press conference.
