Sunny Edwards, a British fighter, and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, an American, entered their unification bout on December 16, at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona with a world title and an undefeated record respectively, but Rodriguez, 23, emerged victorious.
Before dropping Edwards at the end of Round 9 with an overhand left and a body blow, Rodriguez slowly broke him. Despite having a badly broken face from the collision, Edwards managed to survive.
