In an engaging chat with Josh Thomson, Muhammad expressed his readiness to transform the fight into a striking showcase. "I am levels above him everywhere," he stated confidently.

Can Muhammad outsrike Edwards?
Belal Muhammad's confidence is sky-high as he gears up for a high-stakes rematch with Leon Edwards at UFC 304. During his conversation with Josh Thomson, Muhammad didn’t hold back. “I hope he comes out trying to wrestle,” he said, challenging Edwards’ typical game plan.

Why Edwards vs. Muhammad might disappoint fans
Khamzat Chimaev isn't shy about sharing his thoughts on the upcoming rematch between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad at UFC 304. With his characteristic bluntness, Chimaev weighed in on the fight's excitement—or lack thereof. "Of course, it's a boring fight," he declared in an interview with MMA fighter Aslanbek Badaev on his popular vlog.
According to Chimaev, neither fighter brings the electrifying trash talk or knockout finishes that fans crave. He noted that both fighters usually aim to score points rather than seek decisive victories, with the only memorable finish being Edwards' knockout of Usman. Chimaev pointed out that this approach might not satisfy the fans' desire for an action-packed fight.
Chimaev remarked that both fighters are primarily focused on scoring points, suggesting that this approach might leave fans disappointed. His critique contrasts sharply with the fighters’ promises of an intense battle, stirring up intrigue on how the bout will actually unfold.
