UFC 304 predictions
Leon Edwards can record a third successful welterweight title defence in the early hours of Sunday when he faces a rematch with Belal Muhammad in the main event at UFC 304 in Manchester.
The 32-year-old is on a 13-fight undefeated run, winning the title from then pound-for-pound king Kamaru Usman with a sublime headkick knockout in 2022.
The pair's first fight in 2021 ended in a no contest following an eye poke by Edwards in the second round.
Wrestler Muhammad is on a ten-fight unbeaten run, with recent wins over Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady.
Edwards’ strong takedown defence will be key to his chances and he is a supremely talented kickboxer and master of distance control.
This one could go long as both fighters have gone the distance in just under three quarters of their combined 35 UFC fights.
The co-main event sees Tom Aspinall put his interim title on the line in a rematch against Curtis Blaydes.
Their first fight ended in just 15 seconds after Aspinall suffered a knee injury.
The 31-year-old boasts five first-round finishes from his seven UFC wins, including when he secured the interim title against feared Russian Sergei Pavlovich last November.
There aren't many heavyweights who possess the movement or power of Aspinall and he is fancied to add another knockout in this contest.
