Edwin Stanton Dewees (born August 7, 1982 inFlorence, South Carolina) is an American mixed martial artist who most recently competed in theHeavyweight division. A professional competitor from 2000 to 2014, he was featured onThe Ultimate Fighter 4 and competed for theUFC,Affliction,King of the Cage,HDNet Fights, and theMFC.

In his quarter-final matchup onThe Ultimate Fighter 4, Dewees dominated his first round againstGideon Ray, getting a take down and staying at guard for much of the round. However, in the second round, Dewees sustained a large cut in his forehead, forcing refereeHerb Dean to call a timeout for the doctor to assess the cut due to the large amount of blood pouring from Dewees' head. After assessing the situation, the doctor allowed the fight to continue. At the end of the first two rounds,UFC PresidentDana White announced that the fight had been fought to a draw, therefore the fighters would go a third round.

In the third round, Dewees continued to bleed profusely, with blood continuously and steadily pouring from his wound. The two fighters continued to grapple, rolling around in a pool of blood. Ray was clearly distressed by the amount of blood, as Dewees lay atop him and punched with one hand and held the other one over the cut, attempting to alleviate the bleeding. Dewees won the final round with a 10–9 decision. This fight was perhaps the bloodiest battle ever witnessed onThe Ultimate Fighter. Dewees proceeded to the semi-finals, but was eliminated from the tournament byPatrick Côté by unanimous decision.

Dewees was featured on the undercard ofThe Ultimate Finale 4, where he lost toJorge Rivera by first-round technical knockout. After referee Yves Lavigne stopped the fight, Dewees sprang off the ground in protest of the stoppage.

Dewees was defeated byAntônio Rogério Nogueira atAffliction: Banned on July 19, 2008 via TKO, 4:06 of round 1.^[1]
