UFC 304 is going to feature Leon Edwards fighting against Belal Muhammad at Manchester. The news broke off as a leak but the fight is now confirmed. With their previous fight in 2021 put as a draw, Edwards and Muhammad might just have to settle their score at Manchester. Needless to say, both of the fighters are striving for a victory and are training pretty hard. However, Edwards’ jacked physique might just put Muhammad at a disadvantage.

Just 16 days away from the big event, the UFC welterweight champion released a picture of himself. He looked jacked in the photograph. Without a doubt, the picture extracted awestruck reactions from the entire combat sports community. The Reddit post, featuring the picture, cast a shadow of doubt on Edwards winning the fight against Muhammad. It read, “Am I the only one nervous for Edwards? Everyone is so sure he’ll win, that just means something is bound to happen. Plus he fights in a way where you are never sure of him winning.”

As soon as the post was shared on the social media platform, the fight fans were split into factions. Let’s see what they had to say about Edwards’ physique and his upcoming fight.

Leon Edwards extracts awestruck reactions from the fans 

The welterweight champion has seldom failed to impress the fight fans. But it was a different story with the picture. One of the fans wrote, “Yoo Leon looks good, incredible physique. Honestly one of the best I have ever seen on a human.” Meanwhile, another fan commented, “Dude looks insane.”

The fans were pretty quick to remark on the English mixed martial artist’s quads. A fan wrote, “Wtf are those quads.” ‘Rocky’ indeed likes to throw kicks during his fights. Needless to say, he deployed some strong ones while he went against Kamaru Usman at UFC 278 and UFC 286, winning both times. But the second win came with a KO via a head kick.

Thinking about that, a fan wondered, “With quads like that I dunno how he didn’t kick Usmans head off his fucking body.” Weighing in on UFC 304, the fight fans seemed to have different views. Some fans claimed that Edwards’ victory was imminent, quoting, “Confident in him winning*” A few others believed that Edwards had already proven himself against Muhammad. But the fans didn’t fail to undermine Colby Covington as a strong opponent for the champ.

A comment read, “From my pov edwards seems extremely locked in and ready to prove he doesn’t deserve the second fight (from his pov im assuming) so im not worried but its def gonna be a bigger challenge then Colby.” Another fan pointed out at Edwards’ 12-fight winning streak. The comment went like, “Edwards hasn’t lost a fight in so long though. I don’t think WhatsHisName is the guy to break that streak. Some great talent in his division but honestly I would bet on Leon against any of them currently.”

However, many fans were also standing in support of ‘Remember The Name’. A fan wrote, “He’s gonna get bullied by Belal.” Meanwhile, another fan commented on Muhammad’s aspiration for the championship belt. The comment read, “Belal is coming for the gold – be afraid! Be very afraid!”
