UFC 304 Features Aspinall vs. Blaydes Title Fight

UFC 304, taking place tonight at the Manchester Arena, features two significant title bouts: Leon Edwards defending his welterweight championship against Belal Muhammad, and Tom Aspinall putting his interim heavyweight title on the line against Curtis Blaydes. This fight marks the second encounter for Edwards and Muhammad, following a no-contest in their first match. The co-main event is critical for both Aspinall and Blaydes, as the winner will face the victor of the upcoming fight between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. Meanwhile, ESPN's recent top MMA fighters list has drawn controversy, particularly regarding the rankings of women fighters, with notable criticisms from Conor McGregor about Cris Cyborg's inclusion due to past steroid violations. As anticipation builds for the fights, the heavyweight division remains in a state of uncertainty as it awaits decisive match outcomes.
