Just days after submitting cast-mate Aaron Wilkinson at the TUF 12 Finale, Cody McKenzie has agreed to face Yves Edwards at UFC Fight for the Troops 2 in January as a replacement for Melvin Guillard, who moved up to the main event slot against Evan Dunham, according to MMA Junkie.

Somehow I think taking on a 56 fight veteran who has never, ever lost by guillotine is not a great move for Cody.

Re: Cody McKenzie vs. Yves Edwards slated for Fight for the
i hope he literally chokes his way to a title, with every fight ending via 1st round guillotine
i thought wilkinson would beat him easily, but he was just relentless. he's got a million holes in his game but that choke is just brutal. he didn't even have it on straight and wilkinson looked like he was in a lot of pain.

Re: Cody McKenzie vs. Yves Edwards slated for Fight for the
This isn't a fight for Yves Edwards. This is going to be a desperate attempt to get Cody off his head. Cody does have a one track mind, he's got a single attack method. But really, it's possible to be a very successful one trick pony, as long as that trick is unbelievable. Cody is just going to go for Yves's head over and over until he gets a grip on it, and I don't see Yves managing to avoid the guillotine for 15 minutes, and he hasn't been knocking people out lately.

Actually, I think it's a very good move. If he wins, he suddenly becomes "legit". Should he lose, his stock won't really fall that far, because Edwards is so experienced and Cody's inexperience would be a built in excuse. The kid has personality by the pound, and is extremely marketable, so I have a feeling he'll be around the UFC a while regardless.

Not to mention taking a fight on short notice after just fighting makes him look even better in the eyes of management win lose or draw.

Re: Cody McKenzie vs. Yves Edwards slated for Fight for the
when a typical fight camp is 6-8 weeks, and most guys have a 2-3 month hiatus between fights to me that is short notice

a lot of fighters get booked after they win without taking ANY damage...mckenzie pretty much is on his same training camp as before..he just had an easy fight in the process...also Yves has to change his training camp as well.

i think his personality is awsome, it cracks me up. glad we got to see him in the TUF house, and not just make a UFC debut, i dont think ive ever seen another fighter similar to him in any way
