Scheduled for UFC Kansas City
Edwards is scheduled to compete against Chelsea Chandler at UFC Kansas City in a bantamweight fight on April 26, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Another win after weight miss
Edwards defeated Tamires Vidal via submission (face crank) at 4:33 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Edwards has now missed weight three times in her UFC career. She's also won each of those fights. It's gotten to the point that what she does in the Octagon is essentially irrelevant due to her issues on the scale. Edwards did a nice job of bullying Vidal and controlling the fight wherever it took place, but it's fair to wonder how long the company will allow this to go on. The UFC typically has a pretty low tolerance for fighters that are consistently unable to hit the allowable maximum weight.

Fight on despite missing weight
Edwards' scheduled bantamweight matchup against Tamires Vidal will proceed as planned despite Edwards missing weight Friday morning, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards will have to forfeit 25 percent of her fight purse to Vidal in order for this fight to proceed, but what's worse is the fact that Friday's final weight of 139 pounds represents the third time she's missed the bantamweight limit. The UFC could easily elect to cut bait regardless of Saturday's result. In the meantime, Edwards sits as approximately a (-265) betting favorite as of Saturday morning.

It's currently unclear if the fight will proceed as scheduled, and how much of Edwards' purse will be forfeited if so.

Set to face Vidal
Edwards will take on Tamires Vidal in a bantamweight bout at UFC Vegas 99 on Oct. 19, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Edwards needs a bounce-back win, as she's lost consecutive fights at the hands of Nora Cornolle and Aillin Perez, both via unanimous decision. Each of Edwards' career fights in the UFC has gone to decision, and the the 28 year-old currently holds a 4-4 record in the promotion. Her opponent Vidal, meanwhile, is also coming off two straight losses.
