MMA Knockout on Sports Illustrated has you set with UFC 304: Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad and Tom Aspinall vs. Curtis Blaydes predictions.
Manchester, England is ready for some high-level MMA action with UFC 304 taking place this Saturday night, and we've got main card predictions.
In the main event, Leon Edwards will put the UFC Welterweight Championship at stake against Belal Muhammad. The co-main event will see a rare interim title defense as Tom Aspinall puts his heavyweight gold on the line against Curtis Blaydes. There will be three other bouts on the main card for fight fans to sink their teeth into. Let's not waste time and get right into the MMA Knockout on Sports Illustrated main card predictions for UFC 304.Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad share the Octagon under the UFC banner. / : I can't shake the feeling of this fight being a case of, "anything you can do, I can do better." Edwards has improved greatly since the controversial ending to his first fight with Belal.
Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes pose for the cameras ahead of their interim title fight at UFC 304. / : Blaydes definitely has a chance here given that Aspinall leaves his chin exposed quite a bit. With that said, the interim heavyweight champion has hands of stone, and it: There's every chance Blaydes sparks Aspinall in the opening seconds, but I think the inverse will happen.
Whether you agree or disagree with it, the UFC's decision to allow Jon Jones to fight Stipe Miocic, presumably in November, is a business decision. It sells the heavyweight division even more and gives guys like Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes a life-changing opportunity. With MMA's unpredictable nature, Blaydes by KO is the pick here. It forces the UFC to return to Chicago for the first time since June 2019 and potentially sets up fresh matchups across the division.
