Belal Muhammad backed up an incredible amount of smack talk towards Leon Edwards by claiming the welterweight title in the UFC 304 main event.
After their March 2021 fight ended in a no contest due to an accidental eye poke, Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) has insisted he was going to win that fight. It took him years to get the opportunity, but he showed there was credence behind his words with a unanimous decision win over Edwards (21-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) to add his name into the history books of 170-pound champions, which includes legendary names.
To make things even sweeter, Muhammad entered enemy territory Saturday at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, and took the belt on Edwards’ home soil.
