What Belts Are On The Line In Edwards vs Muhammad UFC 304 Main Event?
MMA fans from the UK are in for a treat this weekend as Leon Edwards makes a homecoming fight as he faces Belal Muhammad at the brand new Co-Op Live in Manchester, England.
The bout headlines this stellar UFC 304 pay-per-view card, with the main event expected to be at approximately 5am for UK fight fans.
Edwards goes into the bout as the favourite with the UK’s best betting sites, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion that ‘Rocky’ defeats Muhammad.
Since winning the UFC Welterweight Title back in August 2022, Edwards has put on successful defences against both Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.
Now, ‘Rocky’ aims to defend his 170-pound strap for the third time against #2 ranked UFC welterweight contender Belal Muhammad.
Indeed, that means there is a belt on the line for the Edwards vs Muhammad fight this weekend. The coveted UFC Welterweight Title is up for grabs, with ‘Remember the Name’ getting his shot at UFC gold for the very first time against the champion.
These men have shared an octagon before – back in March 2021. However, the fight was deemed a ‘No Contest’ as Muhammad was deemed unable to continue following an accidental eye poke from Leon Edwards in Round 2 of the bout.
Both Edwards and Muhammad boast incredible winning streaks, two of the best on the entire UFC roster. One of those streaks will come to an end this weekend, as Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhammad goes down for the UFC Welterweight Title in the main event of UFC 304.
