According to the latest information, the fight between the American and the Brit will be the main event of UFC 304, scheduled for July 27 in Manchester.

"The more people hate Belal Muhammad, the more I like him (laughs). I want to see Belal with the belt. It would upset a lot of fans, the noise would be fantastic.
