Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad will finally run it back for all the marbles. This welterweight championship bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, July 27 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.
Edwards (22-3 MMA, 14-2 UFC) is going for his third consecutive defense of his 170-pound title after wins over Kamaru Usman and most recently Colby Covington last December. Edwards and Muhammad are no strangers as the two first fought in March 2021 in a bout that ended in a no contest after a nasty eye poke by Edwards in the second round.
Since that fight, Muhammad often has talked about wanting a rematch, and now he gets it while Edwards is the champion, a shot he’s rightfully earned while on a nine-fight unbeaten streak. Muhammad most recently defeated former title challenger Gilbert Burns in impressive fashion in May 2023 to solidify himself as the No. 1 contender.
