This will make it harder to forget the name.Belal Muhammad did what many thought was impossible and defeated Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champion Leon Edwards by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) in the main event of UFC 304 on Saturday night at Co-op Live in Manchester, England. Muhammad was used to backing Edwards up with his jab and taking him down with a high-crotch single leg. Edwards looked lethargic, but he made Muhammad dangerous in the third round and near the end of the bout, cutting the challenger with a powerful elbow. Every other moment, the former champion was outshone…

Wood (20-6 MMA, 8-3 UFC) started strong, landing a front kick to the body of Pineda (28-16 MMA, 3 NC; 5-7 UFC, 1 NC) that snapped him in half. “The Pit” caught Wood in his guard as he pounced for the finish, buying him time to recover. Pineda fought…

Pimblett seized his opportunity to get the submission, putting Green to sleep in front of a roaring crowd at the Co-op Arena in Manchester, England.

Photo by Patrick McCauley/Cageside PressCurtis Blaydes came out to the familiar “Mortal Kombat” theme tune and attempted to defeat interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall in the co-main event of UFC 304 on Saturday. The two first faced off nearly two years ago when Aspinall went down early with a leg injury and Blaydes won by TKO but the bout wasn’t decided, and the stakes for the rematch are made even higher after Aspinall won the interim title following Jon Jones’ injury late last year. When the bell rang, Blaydes reached…
