Tending to thumb injury
Edwards has been given an indefinite medical suspension by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board pending right thumb X-rays, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards was competitive Saturday, but ultimately couldn't defend the takedown consistently and lost the significant strike battle. She's now dropped back-to-back fights and will need medical clearance if she intends to attempt to break that streak prior to late-2024.

Close fight ends in loss
Edwards lost to Ailin Perez via unanimous decison (27-30, 29,28, 29-28) at UFC 302 on Saturday in Newark.
ANALYSIS
It's clear that Edwards has been working hard to sure up her ground game, as she scored a number of sweeps from bottom position, but she would do well to work her actual takedown defense, as it seems she is just competent enough on the ground to not get worked there. As she often does, Perez got tired in the third round, which allowed Edwards to pour on some leg kicks, but it was too little, too late. Edwards can look good in the right matchup, but her time in the UFC has been bumpy, to say the least. She falls to 13-6 in professional MMA due to the loss.

Gets no help from judges in defeat
Edwards lost to Nora Cornolle via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Edwards was very fortunate to earn a split decision win over Lucie Pudilova after missing weight this past April. There's absolutely a case to be made she deserved to win this fight, and it's surprising not one of the three judgers scored it for her. Edwards was clearly outclassed on the feet, but she also landed 5-of-8 takedown attempts, good for 8:42 worth of control time. She had no less than 2:47 worth of control time in each of the three rounds. Often, that's more than enough to get the call. The defeat snaps a three-fight winning streak for the 27-year-old Edwards.
