Edgar appeared on Spike TV’s “MMA Uncensored,” where he admitted that a move to 145 pounds is inevitable, just not yet:
“I got nothin’ against 145 (pounds). Will I make it there one day? Probably. You know? That’s the truth. But, I just don’t wanna go out on these terms. I felt like the fight was too close for me to just be like, ‘Alright, I’m going down to 45,’ you know?”
Edgar went on to talk more about his history as a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and his choice to compete as a lightweight:
“You know, the reality is that when I first got into this, there was not 45, there was only 55. Actually, when I first started fighting, UFC didn’t even have 55. So, when 55 came, that’s where I fought. Then, I started doing well, and my record kinda speaks for itself. It is the plan, to eventually go down one day, just not now.”
