Happy that fellow European Edwards picking up a win but bummed that Cowboy lost. Would’ve liked to see Edwards try and go more for a finish though. Felt he was cruising a bit too much for my liking but really showed some great attack’s and counters as well. Congrats!#UFCSingapore

Leon Edwards defeats Donald Cerrone by unanimous decision in Singapore. Calls out Jorge Masvidal. Cowboy says he's not going anywhere and "this old dog still has a lot of fights left." Huge smile on his face and waves the hat at the crowd.

Dominant first round for Edwards. Not troubled once and looks calm. 10-9 #UFCSingapore

Leon took that first round. Cowboy still a slow starter. #UFCSingapore

Dan Hardy blatantly justifying cheating in an extended rant is… something. #UFCSingapore

Better round 2 for Cowboy but another clear round for Edwards. This is a nasty fight. #UFCSingapore

Two massive shots seemed to have rocked Cerrone to start the third round.

Cowboy starting to land in flurries, but Leone doesn't seem fazed at all. #UFCSingapore

Every time they break from the clinch, Edwards lands a huge elbow

A better round for Cerrone but still likely 3-0 Edwards

The Octagon has been properly mic'd for this fight. The slaps and thuds have been bright and cracking all event long. #UFCSingapore

Cowboy's plan of drowning him in "deep water" doesn't seem to be working. Leon looks fresh and untouched. Cowboy is bloody and frustrated. #UFCSingapore

Man, I’ll wake up early for a fight like this. Props to Cerrone and Edwards. Fifth round about to begin. #UFCSIngapore

Edwards is mostly moving back and just countering since the 4th. Is he cruising or tiring? Both?

Leone seems like he's taking the last round off… 🤔🤔🤔 #UFCSingapore

Donald Cerrone says he was sick all day and unable to get out of bed. Told his coaches he didn't want to fight, but went in there anyway. #UFCSingapore
