I’ve licked my wounds long enough, I’m home with my family and life is good,” wrote Edgar. “On Saturday I was as prepared for a fight as I could have been. Props to Cory Sandhagen he landed a perfectly timed and executed bomb on me, luckily I don’t really remember it much lol. This game can be a cruel bitch and Saturday night was just that but I ain’t panicked I been here before.

Thank you to my family, team, and friends who really are all one in the same for continually giving me the love and support it takes to be a fighter,” he further added, “The loyalty and unconditional love and guidance you all give me is truly unbelievable. I love you all more than you know. To my fans who always ride with me, I appreciate you all and you (make) this fun for me. Till the next time, see you all soon!
