Muhammad was unyielding throughout the evening putting a lot of pressure on Edwards during the Manchester UFC 304 fight. Muhammad inspired Edwards in ways that left great influence on his abilities, which were considered immensely technical throughout his youth. This fight was once again for the UFC flyweight Championship, Muhammad won by unanimous decision after the fight he impressively performed nine times takedowns and for more than twelve minutes controlling his opponent. Edwards found the conflict challenging because he struggled to manage Muhammad’s requests and unfortunate circumstances.
Muhammad had his tactics correct and they worked as Edwards’ excellent record was stopped that boasted wins such as an exciting win over Kamaru Osman and successful championship defenses, but a run that hadn’t been beaten since 2016 was halted.
Small victories for Edwards: To some extent, it is looks like Edwards was on the way to a victory of this so called war. In the third round, then, successfully parrying Muhammad’s takedown attempt, he could make an additional thrust of a small rescue.

Muhammad continued to be in a fairly evident control throughout the end as well. Again, he was leading and overpowering Edwards. Exerting this pressure constantly and applying the wrestling skills in a fashion last seen when he was dominating Usman, Muhammad finally won his first UFC title.
