The UFC is returning to England in July with two title fights set to take place in rematches. UFC 304 is scheduled for July 27 at Co-op Live in Manchester, marking the promotion’s first visit to the city in nearly eight years.
England’s Leon Edwards will be defending his welterweight title against Belal Muhammad in a rematch of their March 2021 fight. Muhammad has been waiting for over three years for another chance at Edwards after the fight ended in a no contest due to an eye poke that left him unable to continue.
In the co-main event, Tom Aspinall will be defending his interim heavyweight title against Curtis Blaydes. Aspinall won the interim belt two fights into his return and will be defending it for the first time in this rematch against Blaydes, who previously defeated him in just 15 seconds. Aspinall aims to redeem himself and prove he is worthy of keeping the belt.
The rest of the UFC 304 lineup includes exciting matchups such as Bobby Green vs. Paddy Pimblett, Manel Kape vs. Muhammad Mokaev, Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze, and many more. For more information on the fight card and additional details, you can visit MMA Junkie’s event hub for UFC 304.
The official poster for the event was recently released and features all four headliners.
It is clear that UFC fans are excited about this upcoming event as they eagerly wait for their favorite fighters to face off once again on July 27th at Co-op Live in Manchester!
