This sport is hard, so yeah – respect to him”. Edwards was able to realize a long-held dream of his. As a result, he is extremely proud of his accomplishments. “It’s amazing,” Edwards said talking about UFC 286.
“It’s every kid’s dream to be able to live this moment out. I said it all week. I truly believe this is my era now. It’s been a long time since I lost a fight – seven, eight years. So to be able to come back to my hometown, have the crowd go crazy all week – the weigh-ins, press conference screaming ‘Headshot, dead’ – it was madness. It’s a dream come true”.
