“I've already taken enough care of my wounds. I'm at home with my family and my life is great. On Saturday, I was as prepared as possible to fight. Merit of Cory Sandhagen, he landed a perfectly timed and executed bomb on me, luckily I don't remember much (laughs). This game can be cruel and Saturday night was just that, but I didn't panic. I’ve been here before,” Edgar wrote.
Frankie comes from three defeats in the last four fights. When he was still playing at featherweight (up to 65,7kg), the athlete was beaten by Max Holloway e Korean zombie.
Former lightweight champion (up to 70,3kg.), Edgar made his bantamweight debut in August 2020, with a positive result over Peter Munhoz, in the judges' split decision. With the dream of winning his second title with UFC gloves, the 39-year-old veteran had his plans postponed by the tough knockout he suffered last weekend.
