“It’s good to be on the winning side. That was a hell of a fight – Pedro’s a stud,” Edgar said after the fight. “I heard a lot of MFers barking that I’m old, I’m slow. I definitely should have proved them all wrong. I’ve still got some fight in this tank, baby, and we’re going to make a big run at (1)35. He was (ranked) No. 5, and that might put me right in the top five. Three weight classes, I’ve showed I can compete with the best at 38 years old. I don’t want to hear nothing from anybody.”

The co-main event saw Mike Rodriguez score a first round knockout over Poland’s Marcin Prachnio. In additional bouts, Joe Solecki tapped out Austin Hubbard, and Shana Dobson upset Mariya Agapova, winning via TKO.
