    UFC 304 Weigh-in Results: 2 Title Fights Set; 1 Fighter Heavy

    By Tyler Treese,

    The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to England this weekend with a pay-per-view event, although local fans will have to deal with quite the late start time.

    Two title fights are now set for the top of the UFC 304 card. The main event will see
    Leon Edwards attempting to defend his welterweight title against Belal Muhammad . Meanwhile, the co-main event will see interim heavyweight titleholder Tom Aspinall go up against the last man to defeat him, Curtis Blaydes . All four title fight participants made weight, as did the rest of the card with the exception of would-be bantamweight Jake Hadley , who came in at 137 pounds for his fight against Caolan Loughran . Hadley will be fined 20% of his purse as a result.

    Edwards (22-3, 1 NC) previously fought Muhammad to a no contest after an accidental eye poke stopped the fight early into Round 2."Rocky" had been fully in control up to that point and will look to get a definitive win in the rematch. Since their last meeting, the English fighter has won four fights, claiming the title from
    Kamaru Usman and then defending it twice. His last fight saw him dominate Colby Covington over five rounds. The 32-year-old stepped on the scale at 170 pounds on the dot.

    Muhammad (23-3, 1 NC) will look to force UFC fans to "Remember the Name" by becoming champion. Since the no contest, the Chicago fighter has won five straight fights. Wins against Gilbert Burns , Sean Brady and Vicente Luque made a title shot undeniable. He'll now look to get revenge against Edwards after their 2021 fight had no real conclusion. Muhammad officially weighed 169 pounds for his first UFC title fight.
