The ongoing feud between Belal Muhammad and Leon Edwards seems like it is not going to stop anytime soon. The two are nowhere close to having a rematch at this point but the verbal spats continue, whether it’s on social media or press conferences. As it is with every rivals in the UFC<\/a>, Edwards and Muhammad are clearly not fond of each other. <\/p>

Even though the Brit lost the fight against the current welterweight champ at UFC <\/a>304, which was held on July of 2024, he still believes that he has the ability to take down Muhammad, if given the opportunity, and he recently claimed on the Ariel Helwani show that he wasn’t his usual self going against Muhammad last year and blamed the timing of the fight as a huge reason why he lost the fight. Now, the former welterweight champ is set to take on Sean Brady at UFC <\/a>Fight Night 255, and hopes of defeating him to remind everyone about how lethal of a fighter he still is, and possibly set himself up for a rematch against Muhammad.<\/p>
