Two top welterweight sensations lock horns as UFC returns to its Apex arena once again in Las Vegas, United States. The state-of-the-art facility has been the home to several UFC fight nights and pay-per-views throughout the pandemic, and is now going to host another action-packed card headlined by a welterweight duel between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad.
Leon Edwards was originally set to face Khamzat Chimaev, but the latter had to pull out of two back-to-back bookings because of coronavirus complications. Belal Muhammad took the fight on short notice despite having fought Dhiego Lima just a month ago at UFC 258.
On the other hand, it would be Leon Edwards' first fight since July, 2019 when he went through Rafael dos Anjos with a decision win.
Ranked no. 13 in the welterweight division, Belal Muhammad certainly did not expect to fight the no. 3 ranked fighter so soon. However, he is grateful for the opportunity and the possibility of a title shot that might come his way if he manages to win against Leon Edwards, he said in an interview with MMA Fighting.
"You’re always seeing it in your head happening a certain way. I thought it was going to be a longer road, but the fact that it came so quick, beautiful. I don’t have to go through 13 other guys to get to No. 3, I can just go straight to No. 3, win this fight, and get a title fight."
In the co-main event of the card, Misha Cirkunov will go up against Ryan Spann in a light heavyweight bout.
