Belal͏ Muhammad stated that he is a changed man after training alongside ͏Khabib ͏Nurmagom͏edov, and in his match ͏against Leon Edwa͏rds at UFC 304 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ufc-304-leon-edwards-vs-belal-muhammad/], he sho͏w͏cased exactl͏y that. It might come ͏as͏ a surpr͏is͏e to MMA fans, but now they have to address Muhamma͏d as the new we͏lterweight champion of͏ the ͏world. “Remember The Name” has͏ stunne͏d the ͏entir͏e MMA world by clinchi͏ng the victory via͏ unanimous decision. But this unexpected victory also came with a full-blown brawl! The Manchester fans who came to witness a victory for Edwards were clearly not happy. BRAWL BREAKS OUT AT THE UFC 304 ARENA AS BELAL MUHAMMAD OUSTED LEON EDWARDS The Manchester crowd was expecting to witness a dominant performance from their champion at UFC 304; however, what they got was a lackluster performance from Leon Edwards. Belal Muhammad completely stunned the MMA world with his dominant Dagestani wrestling. There was a time in the match when ‘Remember The Name’ threw Edwards on his head and that appears to have turned the entire match against ‘Rocky’. After the match, the crowd stormed each other as a brawl broke out. The reason for the hubbub was rather unknown but it may be due to Edwards’s loss. Some of the reactions of the fans are as follows:- “Leon didn’t show up until the last 40 seconds LOL. What a hilariously awful fight from Leon. Dude just let Muhammad pressure, walk him down to the fence and shoot. Leon is supposed to be one of the best strikers in the world and he just got beat up on the feet by a wrestler. Shit was embarrassing man. Leon didn’t throw his hands ONCE. HORRIFIC bum performance. Garbage fight, garbage champion. What a shameful performance. Don’t give him a rematch.” “Only at UFC!! Let’s Go” “Preview of the UFC during a Belal championship” “they are so pissed. Waited until 6 am to watch Leon get humped for 25 mins” “They all need a little nap. They cranky” “More action than the actual fight” The promotion would like to investigate what happened that forced the fans to throw hands at each other. What’s your take on the match? State your thoughts in the comments below. 

A brawl erupts at UFC 304 as Belal Muhammad defeated Leon Edwards to become the new welterweight world champion.

<p style="text-align: center"><b>Leon Edwards Net Worth 2024, Record, Height, Family &amp; More</b></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Leon Edwards? </strong></h2>
UFC's welterweight fighter, Leon Edwards has proven to be a formidable opponent in the promotion. This English fighter holds a long winning streak and his win against Kamaru Usman pitches him against the best in his division. The current UFC welterweight title holder is also the current longest-tenured champion.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Leon Edwards’ Early Life </strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Leon Aaron Edwards was born on August 25, 1991, in Kingston, Jamaica, to Jamaican parents. He grew up in a hazardous neighborhood, where crimes were a constant occurrence. When he was nine years old, his family immigrated to the UK in search of a better life and settled in Aston, Birmingham, England. Edwards is currently a resident of Erdington, Birmingham, England, and holds British nationality.</p>

</figcaption></figure>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Growing up, Edwards lived with his mother, whose profession and background are undisclosed, along with his younger brother and father. His father was known as 'The General' and was allegedly the leader of a local gang. However, when Edwards was 13 years old, his father was murdered over a money-related issue. The traumatic incident pushed Edwards into gang life, where he had possession of knives and got into fights.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">By the time Leon was 17 years old, his mother was able to get him out of the gang life spiral by making him join an MMA gym. It was there that he found a new purpose and passion in life.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Leon Edwards’ Partner</strong> </span></h2>
Edward's life primarily revolves around MMA and fighting and not much is known about his personal life otherwise. Apart from his immediate kin, his relationship status is also under wraps! There is no documented proof available on any platform that can confirm Leon Edwards' marital status. However, it is known that he has a son named Jayon Edwards.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Leon Edwards’ Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin"><strong>Leon Edwards</strong> has an estimated net worth of $3 million. This figure includes the earnings he made from his fights, endorsements, and sponsorships so far.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Edwards has earned a decent salary during his UFC tenure, with his pay increasing as he climbed up the rankings. Having said that, his highest payday so far came from his victory against <strong>Kamaru Usman </strong>at UFC 278, which earned him the UFC Welterweight title. From that fight, Edwards earned $350,000 for the fight, including a $50,000 performance bonus.</p>

</div>
For his last outing against Colby Covington, his base salary is estimated to be around $1,000,000, alongside an additional $1,000,000 for a win bonus.

It is clear that Edwards has been able to earn a comfortable living from his MMA career, and his success in the Octagon has helped to increase his net worth and profile both within and outside of the sport.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Leon Edwards’ Career Timeline</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Leon Edwards made his professional MMA debut in 2011 and competed in regional UK-based promotions, where quickly established himself as a rising star. He won 8 out of his first 9 fights and captured titles in several promotions. And in 2014, he signed a contract with the UFC.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Edwards lost his debut match in Dana White's promotion. Despite the setback, the fighter bounced back and earned back-to-back victories.?His impressive performances led to him being ranked in the top ten of the UFC's welterweight division. However, Edwards' momentum was temporarily halted in March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of his fight against former UFC welterweight champion <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Tyron Woodley</strong></a>. Edwards was then scheduled to fight <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khamzat-chimaev/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Khamzat Chimaev</strong></a>, but the bout was canceled multiple times due to COVID-19-related issues. However, his most noteworthy UFC accomplishment is his welterweight championship victory over <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Kamaru Usman</strong></a> in a second bout.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">It required seven years of patience on his part to exact revenge for 'Rocky's' last defeat against 'The Nigerian Nightmare' in 2015. Since then, his career in the UFC kept improving, but for the Englishman, obtaining the championship chance was a difficult task. Although he defeated some well-known rivals in the promotion, he was unable to secure the championship chance he so ardently desired. It wasn't until last year that he was offered the opportunity to compete for the title, and he duly lived up to the chance by winning the UFC Welterweight Championship at UFC 278.</p>

<figure class="dom-traversal_domFigure__bvvvj">
<div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP"><img id="img-tag-node-img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1416166454.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption class="dom-traversal_domFigCaption__Hv1Pg">
<p class="dom-traversal_domFigCaptionText__kuHmn">via Imago</p>

</figcaption></figure>
Thereafter, he cemented his win at UFC 296 against Colby Covington. Today, Edwards remains one of the top fighters in the division with a record of 22 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws, and 1 no-contest. He is known for his well-rounded skills, with strong striking and grappling abilities, as well as his exceptional cardio and endurance.
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Edwards' fighting style and record have earned him praise from fans and fellow fighters alike. His notable victories over high-ranked opponents, combined with his impressive work ethic and dedication to the sport, have solidified his place as one of the UK's most prominent MMA fighters.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Leon Edwards’ Partnerships and Endorsements</strong></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Leon Edwards has secured several lucrative endorsements throughout his MMA career. One of his major endorsements is with Iconic Menswear, a clothing brand that specializes in men's fashion. The English fighter is often spotted donning clothes from the brand during various events.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">In addition to his deal with Iconic Menswear, Edwards has also inked a contract with Venum, a leading brand in combat sports equipment and apparel. Venum is renowned for its high-quality gear, which is favored by fighters across MMA, boxing, and kickboxing. Edwards proudly represents Venum as a brand ambassador, often sporting their gear during his training sessions and fights.</p>

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Talking about his association with OnSide, Edwards said [<a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/mma/ufc-launches-onside-youth-charity-26496384" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per Mirror</a>], <em>"As soon as I mentioned it to the UFC they were fully involved and wanted to put money in it straight away,"</em> he said. <em>"I'm very happy to finally come and see the kids work after Covid. Without youth clubs, that's why there?s spike in crime as kids have nothing to but hang out on the streets with their friends."</em></p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin"><em>"For kids, you're like a blueprint to show you can achieve stuff. It's easy to go the hood and be like don't do this, don't do that, look at this but you can't resonate with that person. So for someone like me that I've been there and lived it, I can be the blueprint."</em></p>
