On May 10, 2008 Edgar defeated Bellator Fighting Championships veteran Sean Loeffler in the first round.[2]
At WEC 38: Varner vs. Cerrone Garcia won by knocking out Hiromitsu Miura.[3]
Edgar also trains with Ultimate Fighter winner, Efrain Escudero, with Efrain saying "Edgar’s a guy who punches me and I’m like ‘please don’t hit me again, I’m like ‘please stay away from me."[4]
[edit] UFC Career
After the folding of the WEC Welterweight division, the Ultimate Fighting Championship picked up his contract[5] and he made his UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom Finale, losing a controversial split decision to Brad Blackburn.[6] After the decision was read, the fans at the arena booed Blackburn very loudly, and UFC commentator Joe Rogan implied that Garcia should have won the decision.
At UFC 107, Garcia lost to DaMarques Johnson by triangle choke in the first round.[7] At the conclusion of UFC 107, Garcia was released from the promotion along with Kevin Burns, Shane Nelson and Darrill Schoonover.[8]
