Overview

• On his podcast, the 43-year-old says he completed extensive testing — including MRI, MRA, cardiac evaluations, and eye exams — and was told by a doctor he had a clean bill of health to compete.
• Edgar claims BKFC did not forward his medicals to the New Jersey commission before he was pulled during fight week for BKFC 82, a bout that was then filled by Timmy Mason against Jimmie Rivera.
• He says he received only a portion of his purse, considered legal action for full payment, and warned other fighters after calling the experience a bad look for the promotion.
• BKFC president David Feldman maintains the medical team was not prepared to clear Edgar due to brain-injury liability concerns and says Edgar was given a very respectable check.
• Social-media commentator Jennifer Anderson alleges the fight was scrapped because BKFC couldn’t cover Edgar’s purse, a claim not proven in the reporting, as the promotion is also reported to be planning a $25 million tournament in March 2026.
