Overview

  • Edwards posted, “Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift,” on Thursday, his first statement since UFC 322.
  • He was knocked out by Carlos Prates on Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden, the first KO loss of his professional career.
  • The defeat extended Edwards’ UFC skid to three, following losing the belt to Belal Muhammad and a submission loss to Sean Brady.
  • He skipped post-fight interviews and remained publicly silent until this brief social-media message.
  • Edwards remains ranked in the welterweight top 10, but with contenders like Prates and Ian Machado Garry pushing forward, outlets say his next move is unclear and some voices have urged him to consider retirement.
