Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad start time at UFC 304

Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad will finally run it back for all the marbles. This welterweight championship bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, July 27 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.

Edwards (22-3 MMA, 14-2 UFC) is going for his third consecutive defense of his 170-pound title after wins over Kamaru Usman and most recently Colby Covington last December. Edwards and Muhammad are no strangers as the two first fought in March 2021 in a bout that ended in a no contest after a nasty eye poke by Edwards in the second round.

Since that fight, Muhammad often has talked about wanting a rematch, and now he gets it while Edwards is the champion, a shot he’s rightfully earned while on a nine-fight unbeaten streak. Muhammad most recently defeated former title challenger Gilbert Burns in impressive fashion in May 2023 to solidify himself as the No. 1 contender.
