Edwards, 30, bagged himself a Blue Sky Dweller Rolex before heading off to Utah earlier this month.
Sky Dwellers cost a whopping £25,000, although it’s unknown how much Edwards forked out to get his hands on the watch.
The Team Renegade star showed off the fresh timepiece on his Instagram story on Tuesday.

Revenge will be on the mind of Edwards when he throws down with Usman – the man responsible for his sole defeat inside the octagon.
