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.
