The UFC welterweight title is on the line tonight, with Leon Edwards defending the crown against his compatriot, Belal Muhammad. It is one of the biggest showdowns England has ever seen.
Leon Edwards News
For nearly a decade, Edwards has been an indomitable force in the division. His previous loss came at the hands of Kamaru Usman in 2015, when the Nigerian Nightmare scored a decision win over Rocky. Though Leon managed to avenge that defeat and once more beat Kamaru, both times in title fights.
His unrelenting pace and markedly improved takedown defense since his encounter with Usman have transformed him into an unstoppable force. We don’t have to mention his athleticism and all the physical attributes, which are amazing. Even Usman couldn’t adapt to his rhythm in their third bout.
Belal Muhammad News
Belal’s rise to the top was under the radar for quite some time. Just a few noticed that he hadn’t lost for the last five years. And when you see the list of these rivals during this stretch, you begin to ask how that’s possible. Some of those who lost to Muhammad are Stephen Thompson, Demian Maia, Vincente Luque, and Gilbert Burns.
Belal’s fighting style might not be the flashiest, but it’s undeniably effective. You won’t see knockouts when he fights because that’s not his game. Instead, Muhammad pushes the rivals, pressures them all the time, and scores points on the cards with constant combos and attacks.
Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad Betting Tips
In the previous bout, Edwards was ripping apart Muhammad, who we can say without any hesitation used the eye poke to stop the battle. Rocky’s even better now and we don’t believe that Muhammad can battle with the champion and resist his power.
