Leon Edwards brushes off ‘annoying’ Belal Muhammad before UFC 304, stating ‘He’s too easy to land punches on’

Leon Edwards is gearing up for his upcoming title defense against Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 on July 27 at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester. The long-awaited fight has been fueled by Muhammad’s relentless attacks on social media, calling for his shot at the title. Edwards, on the other hand, is eager to move past this bout and onto new challenges.

The two fighters have a history, having faced each other three years ago in a Fight Night event in London, which ended in a no-contest due to an eye poke from Edwards. Since then, Edwards has gone on a title run, defending his belt twice, while Muhammad has secured five consecutive wins at welterweight and demanded a rematch.

Despite Muhammad’s trash talk and confidence in his victory, Edwards remains unfazed, stating, “He ain’t on my level.” The champion is determined to deliver a spectacular finish in their upcoming bout, aiming to silence his opponent once and for all.

Looking ahead, Edwards is already planning for life after Muhammad, focusing on new challenges in the welterweight division. At 32 years old, he believes he is just getting started and has a lot more to accomplish in the sport. With a strong focus and drive, Edwards is ready to take on whatever comes his way after he gets past Muhammad.

As the main event approaches, fans can expect an intense showdown between Edwards and Muhammad, with the champion looking to solidify his reign and move on to bigger and better things in his career.
