Israel adesanya has no doubts about the outcome of the rematch between Leon edwards e Belal Muhammad | at UFC 304, an event that takes place next Saturday (27), in Manchester, England.
On his YouTube channel, the Nigerian predicted a knockout of the Englishman in the second or third round, highlighting the superior level of the organization's current welterweight champion (up to 77kg) in relation to his opponent.

“Leon is on a different level now. I think he wins the fight. Belal’s chance is in wrestling, but I feel like it’s a bad fit for him,” said Adesanya. The champion also remembered the first fight between the two, which was interrupted by an illegal blow from Edwards, and believes that the Englishman is even more prepared for the confrontation.
The rivalry between Edwards and Muhammad gained strength after the incident in UFC Las Vegas 21. Since then, the fighters exchanged provocations on social media and eagerly awaited the opportunity to decide the welterweight belt.
Edwards, in turn, won the title by knocking out Kamaru Usman and defended the belt on two occasions. Muhammad, on the other hand, comes from a sequence of nine wins in ten fights, consolidating his position as one of the main challengers in the category.
