Video: Watch Marcus Edwards’ 21-second mauling in Combate Global main event

Marcus Edwards put a stamp on his Combate Global debut on Friday.

The 33-year-old welterweight made his debut with the promotion in the main event against Leo Rodriguez, a short-notice replacement who stepped up on a few days’ notice. Unfortunately for Rodriguez (13-3-1), Edwards (14-6) wasn’t interested in spending much time inside the cage at Cisneros Studios in Miami, as he ended the fight violently in the first exchange.

Just 21 seconds into the fight, the referee called for a stop to the bout as Rodriguez was slumped against the fence as Edwards rained down furious punches.

The win put Edwards back in the win column after dropping a split decision to Dilano Taylor for the welterweight title at Titan FC 73 in December. The fight against Taylor was his return to action after over four years away from competition.
