UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs Muhammad will be headlined by a welterweight clash between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad. Muhammad is coming off a win against Dhiego Lima in his last fight at UFC 258, while Edwards is currently on an 8-fight winning streak in the welterweight division of the UFC.
A win for Edwards is almost guaranteed to springboard him to a title shot. However, if Muhammad can become triumphant, he will make himself relevant in the conversation of a title shot as well. Also, this card has some other interesting fights as well. Misha Cirkunov and Ryan Spann will clash in a light-heavyweight co-main event.
