LAS VEGAS – Now that Te Edwards officially is part of the UFC roster, he’s ready to start making some money. Judging from the way it’s been so far in his MMA career, there’s a pretty good chance he can make his UFC bucks courtesy of his heavy hands. Edwards (6-1) needed just 28 seconds to knock out Austin Tweedy (10-2) on Tuesday night at Dana White’s Contender Series 11, which took place at The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas and streamed on UFC Fight Pass. The KO was enough, not surprisingly, to earn Edwards a contract from UFC President Dana White. But Edwards said he’s not going into fights looking for knockouts – even though all six of his pro wins have been first-round KOs. He’s got a total fight time of 8:37 in those six wins for an average of just 1:26 per victory.
