Belal Muhammad defeated Leon Edwards by unanimous decision at UFC 304, ending Edwards' 13-fight unbeaten streak and claiming the welterweight title. Edwards faced training challenges and injuries leading up to the fight, which his coach mentioned post-fight. Muhammad's victory has sparked a social media feud with Conor McGregor and garnered significant praise, particularly from the Palestinian community. UFC CEO Dana White confirmed there would be no immediate rematch, and potential future opponents for both fighters include Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Machado Garry. Muhammad's victory celebration in Manchester and his community engagements have further elevated his profile.
