Belal Muhammad | took the belt Leon edwards at UFC 304, held in July 2024, but it seems that the rivalry remains heated. As soon as the British opened his mouth to suggest some reasons for the loss of the title, the Palestinian was able to bring a response to match.
In an interview with 'UFC on TNT', Edwards revealed that he suffered an injury before facing Belal at UFC 304, however, he underestimated his opponent and decided to fight anyway.

“Going into the fight, there were injuries. The biggest thing that made a difference was the time, fighting at 5 in the morning. I just thought, ‘It’s Belal (laughs). I can beat Belal,’” Edwards said.
Belal's response came through a post on 'X', where Muhammad said that Leon edwards makes many excuses for his struggles and that, therefore, Sean brady will beat him. The Palestinian believes that when Brady knocks him down a few times, he will be able to finish him, as he considers the former champion to be mentally weak. Furthermore, Belal suggests that the Briton will relive the trauma of his last fight.
“This guy is full of excuses, that’s why Brady will beat him… I predict that when Brady takes him down two or three times, he will find a submission… because Leon is weak mentally and he will have flashbacks of what I did to him,” Belal wrote.
