Event Highlights
The main event features reigning welterweight champion Leon Edwards defending his title against top contender Belal Muhammad. This is a rematch long overdue after their first encounter ended in a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke. Edwards, riding a 13-fight unbeaten streak, aims to solidify his dominance in the division. Muhammad, on a five-fight winning streak, seeks redemption and championship glory.
In the co-main event, Tom Aspinall will defend his interim heavyweight title against Curtis Blaydes. This bout is also a rematch, as their first fight ended abruptly due to Aspinall’s knee injury. Both fighters are eager to settle the score and stake their claim for a future shot at the undisputed title.
British fan favorites Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann are also on the card, promising an action-packed night for the local crowd. The Co-op Live arena, hosting its first sporting event, will see its 23,000 seats filled with excited fans as the UFC returns to Manchester for the fifth time in history.
