Yves Edwards vs. Spencer Fisher booked for UFC on Fox 8 card in Seattle

By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief

Two lightweight vets will clash in Seattle this July, as MMAJunkie.com reports that Yves Edwards and Spencer Fisher will square off at UFC on Fox 8 on July 27.

Edwards was upset by Strikeforce import Isaac Vallie-Flagg in February, dropping a split decision at UFC 156. It was an unfortunate setback after a fantastic highlight reel KO over Jeremy Stephens in his previous outing, and he'll now try to bounce back after alternating losses and wins in his last five fights.

Fisher was actually set to retire after a loss to Sam Stout last June, a defeat which marked his third straight and fifth over six fights. However, he's opted to take at least one more fight here, staving off retirement for one more shot in the Octagon.

UFC on Fox 8 doesn't yet have a headlining fight, but it will be the second Fox event at Seattle's KeyArena in an eight month span.
