"I think that would be cool," Edgar said. "It would be a pretty cool sendoff at Madison Square Garden. It’s pretty much in my backyard. I trained up in Renzo’s for so many years, it would be a pretty cool sendoff."

Edgar, 40, is from Toms River, New Jersey, and runs a UFC Gym in North Brunswick. He last fought in UFC in November 2021 at UFC 268 and lost to Maron Vera via knockout.

He said he would like to fight Dominick Cruz for his last bout.

"I’m never one to call anybody out or pick anybody. I usually let the UFC and Ali kind of figure that out," he said. "But I’ll say a name just because I think it’s more of a legacy fight and I know he has a fight coming up and who knows how it could happen, but I think Dominick Cruz. He was a champion at 135 when I was the champion at 155. We were both pretty much top of the division. I think that could be an interesting fight."
