Israel Adesanya, former UFC middleweight champion, gave his prediction for Leon Edwards' fight with Belal Muhammad.
mmad."Belal has the ability to press, he has the ability to impose his pace on his opponent, but I don't think he's going to be able to do that this time around. Let me tell you something though - Leon's got a steep momentum right now, and he's got the will to kill in him. He's going to finish him off, end this fight with a finish. I would like to see how Belal could win this fight. I don't have any negativity towards Belal, I'm not his hype man. Edwards has a good sense of distance, so getting close to him will be dangerous. If Belal gets too close, he won't be completely safe. Belal may have the edge in grappling, but Leon has skills in that aspect as well. My prediction - Leon will win by knockout in the second or third round," - quotes Adesanya portal MMAFighting.
Recall, the fight between Edwards and Muhammad will headline the UFC 304 tournament, which will be held on July 27 in Manchester.
