We are just a day away from UFC 304, Then Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad will lock horns in the octagon for the Welterweight title. Even though Khamzat Chimaev has called this fight a boring matchup fans will surely tune into to see Edwards’ 3rd title defense.
Than Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad
Why UFC 304 main event will not be the best fight of the night?
This will be a rematch between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad but without any knockout finisher and electrifying trash talk the fans might get disappointed. However, Belal is determined to beat Edwards in UFC 304 after the controversial loss back in 2021.
Belal Muhammad’s confidence has sky-rocketed after past few wins as during his interview with Josh Thompson he said:
“I’m telling you I am levels above him(Leon Edwards) everywhere. Even when people tell me that the only way I can beat him is laying and praying. I’m telling you I can outstrike him. I could knock him out.”
Leon Edwards do not see Belal Muhammad as a tough challenge for him despite his impressive win streak. However, Belal Muhammad has promised to dominate the British champion like Khabib dominated Conor McGregor.
“After the fight, I think I’m going to literally walk to his corner and do the Khabib thing. Throw my mouthpiece at them, laugh at them, point, and maybe hop over the fence and jump on his brother.”
Well, even though Belal and Leon have promised a banger fans should not expect a lot of fireworks at UFC 304 main event. Not just Chimaev but Conor McGregor also called Leon Edwards a boring fighter even after his KO win over Kamaru Usman. McGregor stated:
“There’s too many decisions going on now with that Leon fella. Leon Edwards loves a decision and then he’s fighting another f**king decision guy, your man Belal.”
