It will be a homecoming fight for Leon Edwards as the Birmingham-living fighter faces Belal Muhammad in a rematch at UFC 304 in Manchester, England.

Edwards and Muhammad competed against one another in March 2021. Their fight ended in a no-contest following an eye poke to Muhammad. Edwards landed 19 significant strikes, while Muhammad landed eight.

Since that fight, Edwards has won four straight, including a dramatic head kick to Kamaru Usman at UFC 286 to win the UFC welterweight title. He has not lost a fight since 2015. Muhammad, unbeaten since 2019, has won five straight since the Edwards fight.
