Ahead of their UFC 304 bout, welterweight fighters Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad have generated significant buzz. Belal Muhammad claimed an elevator encounter with Edwards and his team revealed their fear, a statement that was largely dismissed by fans who accused Muhammad of exaggeration. Meanwhile, former UFC champion Michael Bisping highlighted Edwards' improved wrestling skills, suggesting he holds a strategic advantage over Muhammad. Adding to the pre-fight hype, a viral video of Edwards scoring a spectacular basketball trick shot has fans debating its authenticity. Edwards, who last defended his title against Colby Covington, is set for a high-stakes rematch against Muhammad, following their controversial no-contest bout in 2021.
