UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards and surging lightweight Paddy Pimblett will both have fresh new looks when they compete this Saturday in Manchester, England.
Edwards defends his title against Belal Muhammad in the main event, while Pimblett looks to get a ranking next to his name as he faces King Green in the featured bout. In their respective fights, both will wear new custom shorts, which were revealed on the Venum website.

Edwards looks for his third title defense following decision wins over Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington to retain. “Rocky” is unbeaten over 13 fights — a streak that has lasted close to a decade. Edwards meets Muhammad or the second time after their first fight ended in a no contest following an accidental eye poke in March 2021.
Pimblett is 5-0 inside the octagon as he heads into his toughest career test. In his most recent outing, “The Baddy” defeated former interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson via unanimous decision at UFC 296 this past December.
