In a recent interview with MMA Fighting, Edwards dispelled the cloud of uncertainty surrounding the issue:
“I feel like he came to the gym, he just didn’t fit into the gym. This is like the third gym he’s been kicked out of. It is what it is.
"He’s just a different kind of guy, he’s hard to blend with. Everywhere he goes there’s a camera there. Everywhere he goes, his wife is there. His kid is there. There’s a lot going on.”
