UFC 304 Set for Manchester with Explosive Title Fights
Dana White has just announced a blockbuster lineup for UFC 304, scheduled for Saturday, July 27th, at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England. This event is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated cards of the year, featuring two title fights and a stacked undercard.
Main Event: Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad
In the main event, reigning UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards (22-3) will defend his title against Belal Muhammad (23-3). Edwards, known as ‘Rocky,’ hasn’t tasted defeat since December 2015. The 32-year-old British fighter is on a remarkable 12-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming against Colby Covington at UFC 296.
Belal Muhammad, who goes by ‘Remember the Name,’ is equally impressive, boasting nine wins in his last ten outings, with one no-contest. The 35-year-old last defeated Gilbert Burns in May of last year. This bout promises to be a high-stakes clash between two elite welterweights.
Co-Main Event: Tom Aspinall vs. Curtis Blaydes 2
The co-main event will see interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall (14-3) take on Curtis Blaydes (18-4) in a rematch that fans have been eagerly awaiting. Aspinall, a rising star from the UK, is coming off consecutive wins over Marcin Tybura and Sergei Pavlovich. Meanwhile, ‘Razor’ Blaydes recently knocked out Jailton Almeida at UFC 299 in March, setting the stage for this heavyweight showdown.
Featured Bout: Paddy Pimblett vs. Bobby Green
Adding to the excitement, fan favorite Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett (20-3) will face off against Bobby Green (29-14-1). Pimblett is riding a seven-fight winning streak, with his latest victory against Tony Ferguson in December at UFC 296. Green, also known as ‘King,’ last fought in April at UFC 300, where he secured a unanimous decision victory over Jim Miller.
The Stakes Are High
UFC 304 is not just about the main and co-main events. This card promises to deliver high-octane action from start to finish. Each fighter on the card is looking to either defend their standing or climb the ranks, making every bout crucial.
The event marks UFC’s return to Manchester, a city with a rich history in combat sports. The Co-op Live Arena is expected to be packed with passionate fans, creating an electric atmosphere.
