Betting On UFC 304’s Two Main Event Title Fights

Tomorrow in Manchester, England, UFC 304 will take place at the Co-Op Live.  The main card will begin at the standard 10 PM start time in the United States, which is 3 AM in the United Kingdom.

Instead of one featured bout, UFC 304 will have a double main event. A title is on the line in both of these fights, and they’re each rematches of contests that ended due to injury.

Below, we’ll have a look at both main events, provide a tale of the tape for all four fighters, and check out what the UFC betting sites have to say about who will win or lose.

Belal Muhammad vs. Leon Edwards 2

Leon Edwards is the current UFC Welterweight Champion. He earned that honor by knocking out Kamaru Usman with a leg strike at UFC 278 in August 2022, and tomorrow night will be his third defense of the title.

Belal Muhammad fought Edwards at a UFC Fight Night back in 2021, but the bout was ruled a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke. Muhammad has yet to capture a title in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Curtis Blaydes vs. Tom Aspinall 2

Tom Aspinall is the current Interim Heavyweight Champion of the UFC. He won the title by knocking out Sergei Pavlovich in September of last year at UFC 295, and he will defend it for the first time at tomorrow’s pay-per-view.

Curtis Blaydes and Aspinall fought in July 2022. The contest was stopped early in the first round due to a knee injury suffered by Blaydes.

Both heavyweights are strikers by discipline, but Aspinall is no stranger to submission techniques. Blaydes was a superior collegiate wrestler but has yet to secure a win via submission during his professional MMA career.

Curtis Blaydes vs. Tom Aspinall Betting Line

  • Blaydes +308
  • Aspinall -408

The current champ is favored to win by north of a 4-to-1 ratio. If Blaydes wins, the underdog challenger will deliver payouts of $3.08 on the dollar. Round betting options suggest that an Aspinall win in the first round is the most likely outcome.
