UFC 304: Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad fight week schedule

BBG News

As a hardcore MMA fan and avid gamer, I can hardly contain my excitement for UFC 304, which is set to take place in Manchester, England. The UFC’s return to the UK promises two highly-anticipated title fights that could make significant waves within their respective divisions.

The UFC is coming back to the UK for UFC 304, held at Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England. Marking the UFC’s initial event in the country in 2024, this will be their fifth visit to Manchester and the first since UFC 204 in October 2016. Two significant title fights are on the agenda, potentially influencing their respective divisions and causing ripples throughout the rest of the year.

The upcoming main event features Leon Edwards defending his welterweight title against Belal Muhammad. Edwards has been the champion for nearly 700 days, having claimed the belt in August 2022. This is Edwards’ third title defense, following victories over Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington. The fighters have previously met in March 2021, resulting in a no-contest. Muhammad, ranked second in the division, is making his first attempt at winning the gold.

At UFC 295 in November 2023, Tom Aspinall claimed the interim heavyweight championship by defeating Jon Jones. With Jones yet to return, Aspinall will face the no. 4-ranked Curtis Blaydes in his first title defense, marking approximately 8 months as champion. Their upcoming bout is a rematch, having previously clashed in July 2022 when Aspinall injured his knee only seconds into the fight, allowing Blaydes to win.

At UFC Fight Night 304, there are scheduled to be 14 bouts in total. Notable fighters participating in these matches are Bobby Green, Paddy Pimblett, Manel Kape, and Giga Chikadze.

During the coming week, there’s plenty more to look forward to than just the UFC 304 fight night. Here’s a rundown of what you can anticipate during the event’s stay in Manchester, UK.
