UFC 304: Live Results and Highlights

The UFC’s highly anticipated return to Manchester, England is upon us. UFC 304 fight day is here with a card featuring the best that England has to offer. The UFC’s last time in Manchester was back in 2016 for UFC 204 as this marks their 5th visit.

The card brings matchups involving current welterweight champion Leon Edwards against longtime rival Belal Muhammad in a heated rematch from their no-contest. The co-main event lacks the bad blood but demands clarity when England’s Tom Aspinall defends his interim heavyweight belt against the only man to hand him a loss in Curtis Blaydes.

Other English favorites such as Paddy Pimblett, Molly McCann, Muhammad Mokaev, and Arnold Allen appear on the card alongside several other English fighters.

Keep up with all the results and highlights from tonight’s action:
