UFC 304 results and highlights | Edwards vs. Belal 2

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was in Merry Old England, Manchester’s Co-Op live to be specific, with UFC 304 mixed martial arts (MMA) event TONIGHT (Sat., July 27, 2024), streamed LIVE on ESPN+ PPV. The UK fans had plenty to root for in the main and co-main events (which might have made up for the 4 a.m local start time there). They saw Leon Edwards in the headliner defending his Welterweight title against Belal Muhammad (no love lost between this two, by the way). Before that, Tom Aspinall (who has been doing some unusual training for this) defended his interim Heavyweight belt against Curtis Blaydes. These are both rematches of fights with weird endings. There were no eye pokes or ACL injuries this night.

There were top Brits among the rest of the main card fights, too. Paddy Pimblett searched for the best win of his career when he faced the heavy hitting King Green (that’s Bobby Green to Pimblett). Arnold Allen and Giga Chikadze were hoping to regain some momentum at Featherweight. And Christian Leroy Duncan met the tough Brazilian Gregory Rodrigues.

The “Prelims” included Nathaniel Wood vs. Daniel Pineda, Molly McCann vs. Bruna Brasil and Muhammad Mokaev vs. Manel Kape. You can check out everything that happened on UFC 304’s “Prelims” here.
