Opening odds for UFC 304 show Leon Edwards, Tom Aspinall, and Bobby Green as favorites to win

Two of the three biggest local stars are favored to win in the opening odds for UFC 304, set to take place on July 27 in Manchester, England.

The main event will feature Birmingham’s Leon Edwards defending his welterweight title against Belal Muhammad in a highly anticipated rematch. Edwards, coming off a dominant win over Colby Covington, is listed as a sizable favorite to retain his belt against Muhammad, who is riding a 10-fight unbeaten streak.

In the co-main event, Tom Aspinall will look to avenge his only UFC loss when he faces Curtis Blaydes for the interim heavyweight title. Aspinall, who suffered a quick defeat due to injury in their previous encounter, is heavily favored to emerge victorious this time around.

Additionally, veteran lightweight Bobby Green will take on Paddy Pimblett, with Green being the favorite in this matchup. The odds also favor Giga Chikadze in his fight against Arnold Allen, as well as Manel Kape in his bout against Muhammad Mokaev.

While the opening odds give insight into the potential outcomes of these fights, they are subject to change as the event draws closer. With two months to go until UFC 304, fans can expect fluctuations in the betting lines as more information becomes available.

Overall, the lineup for UFC 304 promises to deliver exciting matchups and potential upsets, making it a must-watch event for MMA fans around the world.
