“I’m going to go down to 135,” Edgar said. “I’m probably like 156 right now. … My last fight, I was getting down to 145. I got down to 144.5. That’s only 8.5 (pounds) over where I’ve got to be to make 136. It was such an easy cut for this last time. … I think late spring or early summer, (I’ll be back) at 135.”
No matter whom, when or where Edgar fights next, the bout will be the last on his current UFC contract. While he isn’t totally ruling out the possibility of exploring free agency, the longtime UFC athlete hopes to stay put, if possible.
“It’ll be 13 years I’ve been in the UFC coming in February,” Edgar said. “… Money talks. But I mean, honestly, if I was being straight up, where would I want to finish my career? I do want to finish in the UFC. I got in the UFC at 5-0. I pretty much grew up here.
“It’d be nice to finish it here, but everything has to make sense.”
