Welterweight champion Leon Edwards put his belt on the line against former opponent Belal Muhammad in the main event of the evening. The two first met back in March 2021, but the bout was ruled a no contest in the second round after an accidental eye poke. It was only a matter of time before these two met again.
Another rematch takes place in the co-main event as interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall squares off against Curtis Blaydes. Aspinall and Blaydes were only in the Octagon for 15 seconds, as Aspinall suffered a knee injury. Blaydes is coming off a big win over prospect Jailton Almedia earlier this year in Miami.
King Green and Paddy Pimblett meet in a fight that has many fans excited. Green puts his No. 15 ranking on the line against fan-favorite Pimblett, who has won seven in a row and is undefeated in the Octagon. His last victory came against Tony Ferguson in December.
Featherweights open the main card as No. 6 Arnold Allen faces No. 10 Giga Chikadze. With a new champion, Ilia Topuria, sitting atop the 145-pound throne, this matchup is big for the division and establishing contenders for the new champ.
Flyweight could have a new title contender emerge after Saturday’s matchup between No. 6 Muhammad Mokaev and No. 8 Manel Kape. Mokaev comes into the bout with an undefeated record of 12-0, 1 NC, while Kape has won four in a row, with his last win coming at UFC 293 in Sydney last year.
