“Everyone is going to bring up the shit about retirement (after the new defeat) and I'm not going to answer, because I don't know, honestly. I just want to know that when I leave the sport, I will never go back, and I'm not ready for that yet. I'm not ready to make that decision”, said the veteran, in an interview with 'Champ and the Tramp'.
Even without knowing what the next step will be in relation to MMA, the fighter admits to experiencing an unprecedented episode. Former lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg), the fighter does not show the same motivation as before to continue in the sport.
“This is the first time after a fight that I'm not thinking about the next one. I don't think about returning to the gym. I know I will never stop training, regardless of what I decide. I'm going back soon, because I'm addicted, but I'm not thinking about it for the first time in my career”, he concluded.
Since 2020, Edgar began a new challenge in his career. Representative of the lightweight and featherweight divisions (up to 65,7kg.) in the past, the fighter switched to bantamweight, however, the stumble against Vera kept him from fighting for the group's belt.
