American Belal Mohammed tactically beat Britain’s Leon Edwards in a UFC welterweight title fight, the Russian fighter told Vyacheslav Vasilievsky .
Edwards defended his UFC welterweight title against Muhammad at UFC 304 in Manchester. After five rounds, Edwards lost to the challenger by unanimous decision. In the co-main event, interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall of Great Britain knocked out Curtis Blaydes of the United States in the first round.
— In the fight against Volkov, I saw Aspinall for the first time. Tom is different from other heavyweight fighters, he is very thoughtful, with good timing. Aspinall is a versatile and extraordinary fighter, and a victory over Blaydes is natural. And in the fight with Edwards, Belal chose the right tactics: to agitate, to call a lot, to take the back. Edwards is a good striker and could use a little work at a distance. If Belal had given him this opportunity, the drawing would have been different. Muhammad imposed his style on his opponent, did everything clearly and took the fight, ”Vasilevsky told .
