Leon Edwards is set to defend his UFC welterweight title against Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 in Manchester this weekend, following a significant weight cut of 17 pounds to meet the championship limit. The two fighters previously faced off in a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke, and both have engaged in trash talk to hype their rematch, with Muhammad labeling Edwards the 'easiest' opponent in the division. Edwards expressed disappointment that the UFC did not consider Muhammad a notable enough name for UFC 300, despite previously seeking a match against him. Meanwhile, Muhammad argues that his path to the title has been tougher than Edwards', highlighting the strength of his opponents. Both fighters are entering the bout with impressive winning streaks, adding to the anticipation. This matchup marks a pivotal moment for both competitors in their quest for the welterweight championship.
