A professional mixed martial artist since October 2018 and representing Jackson-Wink MMA, Edwin Cooper Jr owns a 4-1 record through five professional bouts comprised of three knockouts and one decision. Cooper Jr has finished three out of his four victories during his time as a pro-MMA fighter so far and is currently 2-1 under the banner of Legacy Fighting Alliance.
