The UFC's trip to Manchester features two competitive title fights.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 12: Opponents Leon Edwards of Jamaica and Bulal Muhammad pose for photos during the UFC weigh-in at UFC APEX on March 12, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. On Thursday, UFC CEO Dana White took to social media to announce the long-awaited lineup for the promotion’s return to England, revealing UFC 304′s main card for the Manchester-based event.
Leading up the festivities will be a welterweight championship between Manchester’s own Leon Edwards, as the reigning champ takes on surging contender Belal Muhammad in a rematch. Meanwhile the co-main will feature UFC interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall facing off against Curtis Blaydes, while polarizing personality Paddy Pimblett takes on veteran Bobby Green. Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad , 170 lbs. :
The fight is a rematch of a 2021 main event that ended in a no-contest due to Edwards poking Muhammad. But the line sits this way because Edwards, a kickboxer with an improving ground game, had dominated much of the fight. “Rocky” has looked hard to stop since capturing the welterweight title with a knockout of Kamaru Usman, as the Brit has won 12 straight fights, most recently defeating Colby Covington.
