The fight was a fast-paced one, with both fighters exchanging heavy blows throughout. However, in the third round, Eblen decked Fabian Edwards and finished him off with a flurry of ground punches. However, when the official intervened, Eblen was not ready to let go – he had a few things to say to his opponent.

However, while he was in the middle of his post-win revelry, Fabian Edwards’ older brother, Leon Edwards, stepped in to stand up for his brother. Eblen seemed unfazed by it and the two were about to go at each other. However, the ring officials did a good job of keeping the two fighters away from each other. They kept the two far from each other but there was a heated exchange of words between them.
