UFC president Dana White has announced that Belal Muhammad will be fighting Leon Edwards at UFC 304. For those unaware, the two have previously fought each other.

Moreover, there was a lot of speculation surrounding Belal Muhammad getting a shot at the title as many thought he deserved it. Well, the UFC has answered the calls from fans as the fight was made official for UFC 304 in Manchester.
