I think he should probably retire. I think he lost the hunger. I made him so much money when we fought. I just don’t think he has that hunger and the spark anymore. So I’d like to see him hang it up, and do something else.
At the UFC 322 event on November 16 in New York, USA, Edwards lost to Carlos Prates by knockout in the second round.
