Fabian Edwards recently claimed that his experience with PFL (Professional Fighters League) has been smooth amidst the organizaion catching heat from several fighters. Several big names like Aaron Pico and Patchy Mix are pushing for exits, frustrated by long layoffs and unclear futures.
Edwards, however, clarified that he's getting fights, and the communication has been clear. Since PFL took over Bellator, many fighters have felt sidelined. There’s been talk of slow seasons, contract restrictions, and champions unsure of what comes next.
Edwards, from what he's experienced, claims that fight week was smooth and the operation is running well. Speaking in an interview with Ariel Helwani following his victory over Impa Kasanganay, he said:
“The vibe is good. For myself, the vibe is good. I feel like the operation was run smoothly. Everyone’s run smooth. At the end of the day, as an athlete, I can’t sit there and be like, ‘Huh?’ I’m fighting. So it doesn’t matter. That’s the attitude to have. But it needs to be sorted out. That’s a conversation that PFL and those athletes need to have.”

He added:
“I’ve been good. Honestly, I can’t lie. They’ve sorted me out. Everything’s been bang on. Communication with them has been good. I kind of know where I stand with them, and that’s good. Just because I’m good doesn’t mean everyone else is. Let’s sort everyone out. Especially the champions. That’s in my head. That’s what I think. No one’s told me anything or let me know, but I’m like, that pretty much makes sense.”

Fabian Edwards weighs in on potential Leon Edwards vs. Jorge Masvidal clash
Fabian Edwards sees a potential Leon Edwards vs. Jorge Masvidal fight as a possibility, but only under the right conditions. He views the matchup as an easy fight for his brother but says it only makes sense if the UK MMA star is chasing money fights rather than a title.
With Masvidal hinting at a return, the history between him and Leon adds intrigue, but Fabian suggests it won’t happen unless the goals align. Weighing in on the potential clash in the aforementioned interview with Ariel Helwani, Edwards said:
“It’s an easy fight, isn’t it? It’s an easy fight in my eyes. But it kind of depends, you know, if it’s just for a money fight. If he’s not interested in doing a title, then yeah, it makes sense. There’s still a chance for him to regain that title. So in my eyes, it wouldn’t make sense unless he just wanted to do money fights.”
