UFC PPV action returns this weekend from Manchester, England, with UFC 304: Edwards vs. Muhammad 2. The signature event, featuring two championship fights, will be from the Co-op Live on Saturday, July 27 at 10 p.m. ET, exclusively on ESPN+ PPV (English and Spanish). The Prelims will be available on ESPN+, ESPN2 and SiriusXM Fight Nation 156 starting at 8 p.m. The Early Prelims will start at 6 p.m. on ESPN+ and SiriusXM Fight Nation 156.
Main Event
Elite welterweights, champion Leon Edwards and No. 2 Belal Muhammad face off in a can’t-miss rematch of their 2021 main event that resulted in a No Contest, this time for the UFC welterweight championship. Edwards (22-3), currently riding a 12-fight win streak that began in 2016, looks to defend his title for the third time with a showstopping performance. Muhammad (23-3), who comes in on a streak of his own with nine victories since 2019, plans to make a statement in their second meeting and leave as champion.
Co-Main Event
The co-main event features a hard-hitting showdown for the interim UFC heavyweight championship with a rematch between titleholder Tom Aspinall and No. 4 Curtis Blaydes, following Aspinall sustaining a knee injury that put an early end to their first meeting in 2022. Aspinall (14-3), who holds an impressive 100% career finish rate and the shortest average fight time in UFC history, looks to even the score with a convincing victory in his first title defense and cement his place in the division. Blaydes (18-4), the UFC heavyweight division leader for most takedowns, plans to take full advantage of his first championship opportunity and deliver Aspinall his second loss in the Octagon.
