UFC 304 Manchester card confirmed as Dana White makes announcement
manchestereveningnews.co.ukTom Aspinall and Leon Edwards co-headline UFC 304 as the sport returns to Manchester on July 27. The United Kingdom's largest indoor arena, Co-Op Live, will host its first live sporting event as the mixed martial arts giant returns to the North West.
For Manchester, it will be the first time since Michael Bisping's rematch with Dan Henderson in 2016. Wigan heavyweight Aspinall will lockhorns with Curtis Blaydes for the interim title, two years after Aspinall suffered a knee injury in the opening exchanges with the American, which forced an early stoppage.
Edwards will go face-to-face with Belal Muhammad, five years after their no contest at UFC Fight Night 187. An accidental eye poke from Edwards ended the bout but Muhammad will get his shot at gold in July.
Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett will get an opportunity in front of a local crowd as he takes on Bobby Green with his unbeaten UFC record at stake.
