    Roy Sio knocked out Solomon Haumono 15sec & Ben Edwards stopped John Hopoate 1.29min both in the 1st round now facing each other who would win?
    Both guys have fought in MMA & K1 and i think are a big threat to the top 10 heavies.

    I've seen Edwards fight a few times (all in kickboxing apart from the Hopoate bout). I'd say Edwards is one of the best strikers in Australia and with the Australian heavyweight division being full of older fighters or rugby league players, I think Edwards has a chance of beating some of these top guys if he has a serious run at it. Still, even 70 odd pro kickboxing fights doesn't give you the experience you need with just your hands, but Edwards doesn't use a lot of kicks or knees, but tends to take guys out with his hands. I'd favour the more experienced guys like Mirovic and Wilson over him, especially in a 10 round fight but he'd have a punchers chance with most of them.
    I don't know much of Sio other then that he's apparently fought MMA a few times. Anyone have any info on how he's gone?
