UFC is heading back to the U.K. for its latest PPV offering this weekend. The promotion lands in Manchester, England with a pair of title fights atop the marquee. The main event sees welterweight champion Leon Edwards looks to turn away top contender Belal Muhammad while interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall looks to do the same with Curtis Blaydes. It all goes down from the Co-op Live on Saturday night.
Edwards has risen to prominence at 170 pounds thanks in large part to the head kick heard around the world. Edwards, who waited a lengthy time to finally get his crack at the welterweight title against Kamaru Usman, was down big on the scorecards in the final round of their 2022 clash. Then, Edwards landed a picture-perfect headkick that knocked Usman out cold to claim the title. Edwards went on to win their rematch in 2023 by decision and carries a 13-fight unbeaten streak into the rematch with Muhammad. The two originally met in 2021 when an inadvertent eye poke by Edwards left Muhammad unable to continue, leading to a no contest. Now, Muhammad looks to get his revenge after winning five in a row since that meeting.
