Did Leon Edwards Beat Belal Muhammad?
Leon Edwards, the current welterweight champion of the UFC, and Belal Muhammad share a long relationship. Both of them engaged in conflict in March 2021. It should be noted that Edwards was making his first appearance in the octagon in over two years. But the fight ended in a really unpleasant way.
Edwards accidentally jabbed Muhammad’s eye during the second round of the fight, and blood immediately began to ooze from it. As a result, the ringside doctor gave the referee the go-ahead to end the contest. As a result of an unintentional eye poke, the fight was stopped and declared to be no contest.
