The highly anticipated rematch between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight division is scheduled for TONIGHT (Sat., July 27, 2024) at UFC 304, taking place at Co-op Live in Manchester, England. Their initial encounter over three years ago at UFC Apex was cut short due to an eye poke, leaving unfinished business between the two fighters. Since then, Edwards has become a significant force in the UFC, defeating Kamaru Usman and successfully defending his title multiple times, while Muhammad has also earned remarkable victories in his career.
As they gear up for their second face-off, the odds are in favor of Edwards prevailing, with betting options available for TKO/KO/DQ, submission, and decision outcomes. Edwards is recognized for his technical skills and striking prowess, likely to be the key components he will leverage against Muhammad. Conversely, Muhammad will need to showcase his tactical aptitude and pressure tactics to counter Edwards’s strengths.
Strategically, Edwards should focus on landing impactful strikes and controlling the fight’s tempo, while Muhammad must close the distance, effectively use his jab, and navigate the clinch to avoid Edwards’s potent strikes. Overall, the prediction leans towards Edwards emerging victorious in this rematch, provided he avoids significant errors.
In addition to the Edwards vs. Muhammad fight, UFC 304 will feature a headline rematch between Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and former champion Jiri Prochazka. The co-main event will showcase a Featherweight clash between Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes. The event promises thrilling action and is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. ET for the Prelims, followed by the PPV main card at 10 p.m. ET. MMA enthusiasts can catch all the action on ESPN+ and should not miss this night of intense fights.
