“I had an absolute blast last night in the squared circle for Toms River’s own Nova’s retirement match!” Edgar posted. “It was great mixing it up with the guys and putting on a show for a great charity the 200 club.”
The event, sponsored by Stand Alone Wrestling, supported The 200 Club which supports local law enforcement in New Jersey. It’s uncertain if Edgar intends to appear at multiple shows for Stand Alone or if his recent stint was a one-off.
Edgar isn’t the only former UFC fighter to feature at a professional wrestling event in recent weeks. Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez returned to Lucha Libre while out on bail in his attempted murder case.
Paige VanZant, American Top Team owner Dan Lambert and Daniel Cormier are a few others who have entered the squared circle this year.
Edgar’s first professional wrestling match appeared to be a success, and he remains as competitive as ever despite this post-MMA chapter of his life.
