Belal Muhammad Criticizes Leon Edwards as Mentally ‘Fragile’ and ‘Easily Defeated’

Belal Muhammad to Challenge Leon Edwards for Welterweight Title in UFC 304 Main Event

After three-plus years of calling for a rematch, Belal Muhammad will finally get his wish as he challenges Leon Edwards for the welterweight title in the UFC 304 main event on July 27.

The rivalry between Muhammad and Edwards dates back to a UFC Fight Night main event in 2021, where Muhammad suffered a brutal eye poke that led to a no-contest. Since then, Muhammad has been eager for a rematch, while Edwards seemed content to ignore the callouts.

Muhammad believes that Edwards made a mistake by waiting so long for the rematch, as he has been improving every day and studying Edwards’ fighting style extensively. Muhammad is confident in his ability to dismantle Edwards, citing his superior skills in cardio, pressure, and grappling.

Despite facing tough opponents like Stephen Thompson, Vicente Luque, and Gilbert Burns in recent years, Muhammad believes that the upcoming fight against Edwards will be one of the easiest matches of his career. He is determined to prove himself as the best welterweight in the division and is looking forward to facing Edwards in front of a hostile crowd in England.

Muhammad is ready to silence Edwards’ fans and make a statement in enemy territory. He is confident in his abilities and is prepared to dominate Edwards to claim the welterweight title. The stage is set for an exciting showdown between Muhammad and Edwards in the highly anticipated UFC 304 main event.
